Inside Higher EdUnited StatesModerate confidence1 min

What changed

A recent study by Trellis Strategies in Texas indicates that student parents are largely unaware of key support mechanisms designed to mitigate academic and logistical barriers. These supports, including priority registration and campus liaisons, are intended to facilitate their educational journeys but are underutilized due to a lack of awareness.

Why it matters

The unawareness of critical student support services poses a significant challenge to educational institutions, potentially impacting student retention, progression, and overall success rates. Addressing this information gap is crucial for institutions aiming to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable access to education for diverse populations.

What to watch

Student parents in Texas face specific barriers to educational attainment.
