Aligning with SPARK’s mission of fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and amplifying the voices of student parents and caregivers, we’re dedicated to illuminating promising practices and building bridges between institutions that support student parents, while recognizing the challenges that persist. This space is specifically for current and recent student parents to share their hearts, wisdom, experiences, and the resources that support them and their families' personal and academic journeys.
Who Are Undergraduates with Dependent Children? uses 2020 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) data to summarize key characteristics of undergraduate students with children. This project is a collaboration between Child Trends, the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, and the Urban Institute.
