Student Parent & Caregiver Support
Nationally, 1 in 5 undergraduate students is also a parent, along with 1 in 3 graduate students. Our office provides resources, advocacy, and support for students who are pregnant, parenting, or caregiving through our Family First Program.

Our case manager can assist pregnant, parenting and caregiving students with accessing benefits like WIC, searching for childcare placements, planning parental leave (and returning to school), and more.
