The Student Support Services Program (SSSP) is a TRIO program funded by the U.S. Department of Education that provides academic assistance, personal support and cultural enrichment for eligible undergraduate students at the University of Delaware.
The primary objectives of SSSP are to assist participants to maintain good academic standing, to persist in college, and ultimately to graduate from the University with a baccalaureate degree.
The Student Support Services Program provides access to a wide range of resources that promote academic excellence. At the same time, SSSP is dedicated to creating a supportive social community that will help to make the university experience a positive one.
Throughout the year, SSSP participants work with professional staff to identify long-and short-term academic and personal goals and the strategies needed to achieve them. Freshmen are assigned a Peer Mentor, an upper-class SSSP student trained to assist new students in making the transition to college.
Student Support Services participants may use free group and individual tutoring, participate in educational and developmental workshops, pursue leadership opportunities within the program, and attend cultural events. All services are provided free of cost to active program members.
