College students living on campus generally have better educational outcomes and a sense of belonging, yet parenting students face unique challenges, including financial hardship and limited access to basic needs. Many report experiences of housing insecurity and food scarcity. Wilson College's Single Parent Scholar Program provides essential support for single parents, alleviating financial obstacles and promoting educational engagement. The initiative has shown significant benefits, allowing parents to pursue degrees without sacrificing their responsibilities and helping their children recognize the value of higher education.
For decades, Wilson College in Pennsylvania has offered special housing to single parents enrolled at the institution, alleviating financial barriers to on-campus living and providing greater access to educational resources.
It breaks my heart to think people would ever have to choose between your child and your education, so we're trying to take that awful choice away,
