Student Support Services (SSS)
The Student Support Services (SSS) program is a federally funded grant provided by the U.S. Department of Education which has been part of Enterprise State nearly forty (40) years. The Student Support Services program works in conjunction with all departments on campus as well as external agencies to aid students in retention, graduating and transferring to senior institutions. This program provides opportunities for academic development, assists students with basic college requirements, and serves to support and motivate students toward the successful completion of their postsecondary education.
