Food Insecurity Is Related to Financial Aid Debt among College Students
Knol, Linda L.; Robb, Cliff A.; McKinley, Erin M.; Wood, Mary
Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences, v110 n4 p35-41 Fall 2018
The purpose of this research was to examine relationships between food insecurity and selected financial indicators among college students living off campus (n = 395), using an online survey. The prevalence of food insecurity was 38.4%. Students who used food assistance programs, experienced exogenous economic shocks, and owed more than $10,000 in financial aid were more likely to be food insecure than their counterparts. High rates of food insecurity among students living off campus would suggest a need for additional student services.
