YOUR CAMPUS SUPPORT PATHWAY

Build your circle on campus.

You do not have to know every answer before asking for help. Start with an adviser or student services office.

01

Start here

Ask who serves as the campus contact for students who are parents. Keep the person’s name and your next steps in one place.

  • Does the institution offer child care assistance, emergency aid, or scholarships I can apply for?
  • What are the eligibility rules, application deadlines, and documents required for any available assistance?
  • Where can I find tutoring, study spaces, counseling, or a student parent group?

Programs and services vary by institution. Confirm current availability, eligibility, and deadlines directly with your campus.
