A resolution expressing the support of the Senate for the contributions and achievements of student parents and recognizing September 2022 as National Student Parent Month.
This resolution expresses the U.S. Senate's support for student parents - individuals attending college while raising children - and designates September 2022 as National Student Parent Month. It does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes the challenges faced by this group, including high rates of food/housing insecurity and balancing education with caregiving. The resolution directly affects approximately 4 million student parents in postsecondary education, who often juggle work, childcare, and studies. It serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of their contributions, without implementing concrete policy changes.
