Dothan, Ala. – Wallace Community College – Dothan has been selected to receive Federal funding under the TRiO Student Support Services program (SSS) (84.042A). The grant is in the amount of $718,829.00 for the first budget period (09/01/2020 through 08/31/2021).

“TRiO SSS is a ‘lifeline’ for so many of our students. We hear success stories from students and graduates where our TRiO staff provided the right support at the right time that pulled them out of a crisis situation,” said Dr. Mickey Baker, Dean, Student Affairs and the Sparks Campus. “The continuation of federal funds for TRiO SSS at Wallace Community College will greatly benefit our students and the community that we serve.”

Dr. Demetriss Locke, Director of TRiO SSS at Wallace, said the TRiO staff gives students what they need to be successful. “The staff is committed to providing intensive, supportive, and proactive services that prepare our students for a rigorous educational pursuit.”
