The U.S. Department of Education has awarded Cal State Northridge’s Education Opportunity Program a $1.1 million Student Support Service Program (SSSP) grant.
Paid out at $220,000 per year for five years, the grant will enable Northridge officials to admit 140 new students, mainly first-time freshmen and first-time transfers who are either low income or first in their family to attend college, or both. A wide range of programs are expected to help students progress from one academic year to the next, maintain a performance level required to stay in good academic standing and graduate within six years.
