More than 202,000 students are now being served by 1,069 Student Support Service programs at colleges and universities nationwide. Recent studies of Student Support Services found that program participation resulted in statistically significant higher student retention and transfer rates, improved grade point averages, and credit accumulation. Program participants also bested their similarly situated peers in degree completion at two-year colleges (41% vs. 28%) and four-year colleges (48% vs. 40%).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\t<article class=\"featured-post post-card column-2 fade-to-left\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__image\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image to-square bg-img\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t style=\"background-image: url(' https:\/\/coenet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Pursuit-of-HappineSSS-Student-Support-Services-TRIO-Anniversary-1024x571-1-300x167.jpeg ')\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/blog\/50-years-of-student-support-services-pursuit-of-happinesss\/\" class=\"link-reset link-overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n                        <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Click to view the page: 50 Years of Student Support Services: Pursuit of HappineSSS<\/span>\r\n                    <\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t<p class=\"kicker\"><span class=\"label\">Featured <\/span>Blog<\/p>\t\t\t<h3 class=\"post-card__title h3-small\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/blog\/50-years-of-student-support-services-pursuit-of-happinesss\/\" target=\"_self\">50 Years of Student Support Services: Pursuit of HappineSSS<\/a><\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/article>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<section class=\"related-content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"row list-unstyled\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"post-card column-3\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"kicker\">News &#038; Impact<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"post-card__title h3-small\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/press-release\/the-council-for-opportunity-in-education-launches-inaugural-award-for-institutional-effectiveness-to-scale-trio-student-support-services-practices-campus-wide\/\" target=\"_self\">The Council for Opportunity in Education Launches Inaugural Award for Institutional Effectiveness to Scale TRIO Student Support Services Practices Campus-Wide<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"post-card column-3\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"kicker\">Pages<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"post-card__title h3-small\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/coe-award-for-institutional-effectiveness\/\" target=\"_self\">COE Award for Institutional Effectiveness<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"post-card column-3\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"kicker\">Conferences &#038; Events<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"post-card__title h3-small\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/conferences-events\/fuel-the-finish-strategic-and-compliant-ways-to-use-your-remaining-sss-funds\/\" target=\"_self\">Fuel the Finish: Strategic and Compliant Ways to Use Your Remaining SSS Funds<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\r\n\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><div aria-labelledby=\"tab-educational-opportunity-centers\" class=\"tab-panel\"  id=\"educational-opportunity-centers\" role=\"tabpanel\"><p class=\"tab-panel__name h2 show-tablet\">Educational Opportunity Centers<i class=\"panel-icon\"><\/i><\/p><div class=\"tab-panel__inner\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"column-2 tab-panel__main-content fade-to-up-children \"><h2 class=\"kicker\">Educational Opportunity Centers<\/h2><div class=\"tab-panel__content\"><p>Educational Opportunity Centers serve displaced or underemployed workers from families.
