October 01, 2025

Virtual

4:00 to 5:00 p.m. ET

Is your institution ready to showcase its commitment to student success? The Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) invites community college leaders to a free, one-hour webinar where we’ll explain how to apply for the $10,000 COE Award for Institutional Effectiveness. This award recognizes campuses that have fully integrated proven TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) strategies—such as intrusive advising, cohort mentoring, and data-driven evaluation—into their broader student success efforts. During the webinar, members of our Community College Initiative Advisory Committee will:

  • Clarify the award’s goals and eligibility requirements
  • Walk you step-by-step through the application, scoring rubric, and timeline
  • Answer your questions live so you can prepare a competitive submission

Don’t miss this chance to earn national recognition and $10,000 in unrestricted funding for your innovative, campus-wide SSS practices.
