Students who are parents
BGSU is dedicated to supporting students who are parents by connecting them with campus and community resources to help balance their academic and family lives. This webpage offers information on academic and financial support while helping integrate families into the BGSU community.
We aim to highlight the diverse experiences of all students who are parents—undergraduate, graduate, biological, adoptive/foster, single, or partnered—and recognize the unique challenges they face. Sharing these stories is key to developing programs and initiatives that foster a more supportive and cohesive environment for students with children.
