Child Care

Did you know that 1 in 5 college students are also parents? The Annie E. Casey Foundation reports that student parents “account for a significant portion of the undergraduate population in the United States and face unique challenges as they pursue an education, work toward a career and raise a family.” Graduate students also make up a significant portion of student parents on campuses around the country. 

When student parents - undergraduate or graduate - are supported, they are able to stay in school, complete their degree, and enter the workforce.
