 Student
Support Services
Student Support Services is a federally funded
TRIO program to help program participants every step of the way
– from the time they first come into the program until they
accept their diploma on graduation day. Student Support Services
will achieve these goals by providing participants with
comprehensive programs which will emphasize academic excellence
and cultural awareness to become a life long learner.
Eligible students must be enrolled or accepted
for enrollment at Purdue North Central. In addition, you must
also meet the following requirements: neither parent has
received bachelor’s degree; your family meets the federal
guidelines for income eligibility; or have a documented
disability.
A proven program of information, support, and
guidance helps provide Student Support Service participants with
the academic and emotional support necessary to excel in the
classroom and beyond.
History
 Student
Support Services was established in 1984 to address low college
attendance among first generation college students, low income,
and students with documented disabilities at Purdue North
Central. Funded by the Higher Education Act of 1965, and
supported by the university’s strong commitment of additional
resources and services, Student Support Services provides
services to 195 students each year. Purdue North Central’s
Student Support Services program is one of 963 programs serving
204,534 students across the country with funds distributed
through competitive grants.
Mission
Student Support Services is committed to
providing learning, discovery and engagement opportunities
through quality academic, career and personal support services
to low income, first generation college students and students
with disabilities.
Services
 Student
Support Services is specially designed to provide academic and
social support services for our program participants. This
support is provided through the undergraduate years and is
intended to lead to successful completion of the university
curriculum leading to a bachelor’s degree.
We provide various academic and social services
to 195 participants annually. Services include, but are not
limited to, counseling, mentoring, and tutoring. Participants
are required to meet with a staff member on a regular basis
during the first semester they are in the program.
Student Support Services also offers assistance
with career decisions and preparation. Participants unsure as to
what they want to study can receive career counseling. A resume
writing workshop is offered to help students prepare for their
job search and possible interviews.
We also provide participants with opportunities to attend
student leadership conferences and cultural events, such as
plays, concerts, and museums. Student Support Services also
schedules educational excursions to cities like Chicago and
Washington D.C.
