Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v22 n1 p18-32 Jan 2023
College student parents are a unique population not always heard on college campuses. The current study reports the voice of student parents and their challenges in pursuing higher education, while raising children at a 4-year Hispanic Serving Institution. Seven hundred and eighty-six student parents participated, among whom 54% were Hispanic (n = 387), in a survey that assessed childcare needs, barriers to the use of campus childcare, and university support. The study also found issues for student parents related to financial strains, parenting stressors, and lack of institutional support. Study implications and recommendations for practice are discussed.
