Student Support Services

Student Support Services is a federally funded program providing a wide variety of services designed to enhance academic skills, increase retention and grade point averages leading to graduation, and if appropriate, transfer to a four-year college or university. Activities include academic support, personal and career counseling, informational workshops designed to promote college success and financial literacy, individual and group peer tutoring, cultural enrichment events, college/university tours, and instructional resources. Since Student Support Services is a federally funded program, students selected must meet one of the following criteria: (1) low-income with verifiable financial need; (2) first generation in college; or (3) students with disabilities. Student Support Services is committed to providing student-centered services to maximize the academic potential for each student’s success at Indian River State College.
