FAFSA & Homeless Youth: Challenges + Recommendations in the COVID-19 Era
SchoolHouse Connection
Homelessness among college students is a diverse phenomenon, encompassing different age groups, family compositions, causes, and dynamics. One of the most significant barriers to higher education for youth experiencing homelessness is accessing financial aid; without financial aid, they cannot transition to and complete their college education, and remain at higher risk of continued homelessness as adults. This report examines six years of financial aid data for unaccompanied homeless youth (UHY). These data demonstrate continued barriers to financial aid access -- barriers that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 outbreak.
