Student Support Services
openings
Student
Support Services, one of the federally-funded
TRIO programs, provides
students with academic and support services in a caring environment
to ensure the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Once a student
is accepted into SSS, they remain in the program until graduation.
Services offered by SSS are all free and include advising,
counseling, tutoring, supplemental instruction, mentoring,
workshops, cultural enrichment events, and more. Currently, there
are openings for SSS. To be considered, a student must be: a U.S.
citizen, national or meet residence requirements for federal student
aid; and have a need for academic support.
In addition, a student must meet at least one of the following
criteria:
* Be a first-generation college student
* Meet income guidelines
* Be an individual with a documented disability
If you know of a student who might benefit from SSS, send them by the
Smith Center for Excellence in Education, Room 111, to obtain an
application or visit
the web
site for an application or call 870-972-3341 for more details.
