The Diapers for Diplomas Program is an initiative to help parenting students attend or return to higher education to gain new skills, complete a degree or credential, have opportunities for meaningful, long-term career choices and advance in the workplace.
Completing a college degree or certificate is one of the primary pathways to economic success but money is often a barrier to the completion of this. 78% of parenting students cited family responsibilities/finances as the number one challenge in pursuing their degree.
Through this program, qualifying parenting students will receive 200 diapers per month (distributed quarterly) for a full academic year, thereby eliminating one more barrier to higher education.
