Why This Matters
The Helping Student Parents Succeed Act ensures colleges provide clear policies and resources for students who are expecting or parenting. This helps these students navigate their education while managing family responsibilities.
If you are a student expecting a child or already a parent, your college will have to provide better support and resources for you.
