This resolution expresses strong support for the valuable contributions and achievements of student parents as they pursue and complete postsecondary education. It formally designates September 2025 as "National Student Parent Month" to highlight their dedication and perseverance in balancing academic demands with family responsibilities. Student parents, who constitute nearly one-fifth of the postsecondary student population, often face significant hurdles, including high rates of food and housing insecurity, extensive work hours, and challenges with affordable childcare. Despite these obstacles, they frequently demonstrate higher grade point averages than their non-parenting peers, though they are less likely to complete a bachelor's degree within five years. The resolution underscores the importance of recognizing these individuals who are uniquely motivated to excel and whose educational attainment can significantly benefit their families and communities.
