California’s state and local college leaders must find new ways to identify student parents and ensure they can access all financial aid, child care, mental health and campus resources, according to two new research briefs. The reports, from UC Davis’s Wheelhouse research center, published Thursday, amount to one of the most comprehensive looks yet at a substantial group of students in California’s higher education systems. Students who are also parents are mostly enrolled at community colleges, are more likely to be women and are older than their peers. By examining financial aid applications in 2018, the authors of the research found that out of 1.5 million applicants in California, about 202,000 of them were parents. About 72% of those parents intended to enroll at one of California’s community colleges. Once student parents arrive at community college, they are less likely to earn a degree or certificate than non-parents, according to the research.
