Harding University's Student Support Services (SSS) is a federally funded program designed to promote retention and academic success in college. SSS provides participants with academic and support services in a caring environment that seeks to ensure their successful completion of a degree at Harding University. These services are FREE to participants and include:
- Academic Assistance
- Career & Major Development
- Personal Counseling
- Cultural Enrichment Opportunities
- Financial Guidance
- Disability Accommodations
All services are free of charge to eligible students that qualify by meeting one or more of the following criteria:
You are qualified if:
- First-Generation: you are a first-generation student in college (which means neither parent graduated with a four-year college degree)
- Low-Income: you meet "low-income" standards according to federal guidelines (if you're eligible for Pell, you're probably eligible for SSS)
- Disabled: you have a learning disability for which you need academic accommodation. Keep in mind that only one-third of participants can be disabled and one-third of those must have low-income status as well.
In addition, you must:
- be a citizen or national of the United States (possession of a permanent Visa/green card counts)
- possess the potential and motivation for college success
