Key Points
- This resolution officially names September 2025 as National Student Parent Month. It honors the hard work of the roughly 3 million people in the U.S. who are raising children while attending college or trade school.
- The Senate highlights that student parents often face bigger hurdles than other students. More than half of these parents struggle to afford food or a stable place to live. Many work full-time jobs while also caring for their kids and studying.
- Even though student parents often get better grades than their peers, they are much less likely to finish their degrees on time. Lack of affordable child care is a major reason why many have to drop out or miss classes.
- The resolution points out that helping these parents graduate is good for the whole country. When a parent gets a degree, they earn more money and save the government billions in public assistance costs over time.
