Welcome to Student Support Services!

Mission Statement

The mission of Student Support Services (SSS) at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is to empower 300 qualifying students to articulate and achieve their own personal, educational and career goals by providing services, resources and support that promote retention and graduation. SSS will encourage continued personal development, personal responsibility and lifelong learning.

Purpose

Student Support Services is a project designed to help students maximize their academic potential and achieve their academic and personal goals. Our program provides the encouragement, information, and positive support that make our offices a “home away from home” for our students.

The project is funded by the United States Department of Education under the Title IV Higher Education Act of 1965 and serves 300 first generation and income eligible students at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. By providing key services, SSS aims to promote the retention and graduation of the students it serves.

SSS Eligibility

Services are free to U.S. citizens or permanent residents who meet eligibility guidelines, as determined by the U.S. Department of Education. Priority is given to students who meet two of the following criteria:

• Income eligible student, as determined by current federal income guidelines

• First generation college student (neither parent has a four-year college degree)

• A documented disability

“The UW Oshkosh SSS program is 100% funded through a TRiO grant from
 the US Department of Education PR/Award number is P042A060223 at an estimated $1,472,000.00 for the 2006 to 2010 program years.”
