TRIO Student Support Services — CFDA 84.042

TRIO SSS obligations at $2.24 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,242,966,984.46 in obligations under CFDA 84.042. Two thousand two hundred eighty-seven awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $980,000 per award — in the range of multi-year campus project grants rather than state formula allocations. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical student stipend or a per-participant cost.

The assistance-listing title is TRIO STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES. CFDA 84.042 is the identifier. Other TRIO listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.24 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined TRIO total this packet does not contain.

995 recipients across 52 jurisdictions

Nine hundred ninety-five recipients share 2,287 awards, or about 2.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.24 billion evenly would assign about $2.25 million per recipient. That pattern is a large roster of colleges with a couple of award-year rows each. The packet does not list the 995. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of students served.

Fifty-two jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus additional coded entities in the USAspending state field. Project dollars still concentrate where awarded campuses sit. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a student or tutor count

Among education listings, 84.042 is a high-row file: 2,287 awards against 995 recipients. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique campuses. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of SSS programs.” Recipients (995) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (2,287) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report students served, GPAs, or graduation rates. Citing 2,287 as students would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.

Obligations versus campus-aid outlays

The $2.24 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against SSS awards — are not in the packet. A campus can show a large obligation stock while services follow the academic calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 84.042 tables omit

The TRIO SSS hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a student roster, not a tutoring log, and not an outcomes report. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,242,966,984.46. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 2,287 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 52 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on advising.

Where the 84.042 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 84.042 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other education listings. For 84.042 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 84.042’s 2,287 awards spread $2,242,966,984.46 across 995 recipients and 52 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.3 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 84.042 as a campus TRIO project book: 995 organizations, 2,287 awards, 52 jurisdictions, and about $980,000 averages that describe multi-year campus grants rather than student stipends. The $2.24 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov. Nine hundred ninety-five campuses and 2,287 rows keep SSS in the high-volume education band.
