Texas passed real protections for student parents, from campus liaisons to priority registration, but new survey data show most students don’t know these supports exist.

Join Trellis Strategies and EdTrust in Texas for a look at what Texas’s parenting students are actually experiencing, from financial hardship and housing insecurity to the wide gap between available support and student awareness of it, and what policymakers and institutions can do to close it.
