A resolution expressing support for the contributions and achievements of student parents in seeking and completing a postsecondary education and designating September 2025 as "National Student Parent Month".

Nearly 3.1 million college students in the U.S. are also raising children, and they face steep odds — over half deal with food or housing insecurity, and they're 10 times less likely to finish a bachelor's degree within five years than students without kids. Despite that, student parents actually earn higher GPAs than their non-parenting peers. This resolution designates September 2025 as "National Student Parent Month" to recognize their achievements and the unique challenges they juggle — balancing coursework, jobs (two-thirds work 40+ hours a week), and childcare, often without affordable options.
