The Student Support Services (SSS) program provides opportunities for academic development, assists students with basic college requirements and serves to motivate students toward the successful completion of their post-secondary education. The goal of the program is to offer every possible form of support for participants moving along their journey to graduation from Grand Valley State University. Students who identify as first-generation college students, low-income, and/or students with disabilities with a need for academic support are eligible to participate in SSS projects.
