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".
Sponsored By: Senator Moran, Jerry [R-KS]
Passed Senate
Summary
Designates September 2025 as National Student Parent Month and highlights the contributions and challenges of student parents. Student parents are about one in five postsecondary students, roughly 3.14 million, and often balance full-time work, caregiving, and classes. Many face basic-needs insecurity: about 52 percent report food insecurity, 58 percent report housing insecurity, and two thirds live at or near the poverty line. The resolution notes 55 percent are students of color, 51 percent attend community college, and single mothers in school can save about $19.9 billion in public assistance.
