Family First
As the only program exclusively supporting parenting students on campus, we understand that students need family support. Enroll in Family First to receive a supply of diapers and wipes on a monthly basis. Family First participants also have access to other donated supplies, including formula, bottles, clothing, toys, and more subject to availability.
Connections
Connections is a program designed to help students with an elevated level of need for resources beyond the Bearcats Pantry and Resource Center. Through one-on-one meetings, we will learn your story and work with you to access community-based resources (e.g., SNAP benefits and other assistance).
