Across the country, food insecurity is harming the ability of college students to achieve their educational and professional goals. One of the most effective ways to ensure stable food access is by signing students up for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Unfortunately, too few students with need actually enroll in SNAP.
A new report from The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice discusses the restrictive eligibility rules of SNAP that discourage students from applying, as well as state-level innovations that are making the program SNAP more accessible for students facing basic needs insecurity.
