Office of Educational Opportunity Initiatives

The Select Student Support Services (4S) program engages scholars who attend UM-Flint and encounter economic and/or academic barriers. The 4S Program is designed to develop retention programs to benefit academically- or economically disadvantaged students enrolled at four-year public and independent educational institutions throughout Michigan.

We engage UM-Flint students personally, offering individualized coaching to help students address barriers to academic success. We also connect students with peers through our mentoring program and social events. We are a family of scholars and support each other through college and beyond.

Our goals include:

• Increasing your GPA
• Advancing you to the next level
• Your graduation!

If you are from Flint and/or have encountered academic or economic barriers, you should join our community of scholars. We are here to support you every step of the way. We offer workshops, engagement opportunities, and tutoring in our safe and comfortable spot on campus. Our scholars form bonds for life.

We are proud of our accomplishments and graduates. Our scholars are well-known on campus and in the community. We are known for our excellence and achievements. If you want to join a strong family of scholars, consider joining the King-Chavez-Parks 4S program!
