New research shows stable housing, money for books among chief concerns
A college education is estimated to add $1 million to a person’s lifetime earning potential, but for some students the path to earning one is riddled with obstacles. That journey is even more difficult for students who have been in the foster care system or experienced homelessness, according to a new study from the University of Georgia.
But the more college administrators and faculty know about these students’ problems, the more they can do to ease the burden.
Getting into universities in the first place can frequently be a challenge for students who’ve had unstable home lives, said David Meyers, co-author of the study.
