Kentucky's Strategies and Recommendations to Address Students' Basic Needs
Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education
Nearly three in five undergraduate students on U.S. campuses experience basic needs insecurity, which means they lack access to stable sources of food, housing, or other living or educational essentials, like affordable childcare or technology. Basic needs insecurity unequivocally jeopardizes student success, increasing the likelihood of leaving college without a degree. As Kentucky approaches 2030 with the goal of increasing the state's educational attainment rate to 60%, the state must do more to enroll a greater proportion of low-income adults into postsecondary education and support them with campus-based services throughout their academic careers. With funding support from Lumina Foundation, the Kentucky Student Success Collaborative (KYSSC) embarked upon a year-long project focused on student basic needs. The primary objectives of the project were to increase access to basic needs support for postsecondary students and to increase access to postsecondary education for individuals receiving state support.
