Sam Houston State University’s Academic Success Center has been awarded grants totaling $958,101 from the Greater Texas Foundation and the Trellis Foundation. The funding comes in support of the Academic Care and Resiliency initiative, which supports the expansion of comprehensive wraparound services for postsecondary success. This holistic approach addresses critical barriers for first-generation and low socioeconomic students by teaching resiliency skills at key transition points.
The grants will enhance SHSU’s wraparound support model by expanding proactive academic coaching and structured re-entry support for students who experience academic disruption. Through early intervention, personalized guidance and coordinated campus resources, the initiative aims to improve student persistence, retention and long-term academic success.
With support from the Greater Texas Foundation and the Trellis Foundation, the Academic Success Center aims to increase capacity for individualized coaching, develop targeted outreach for students and provide intentional re-engagement strategies for students returning after academic setbacks.
