Student Basic Needs

Experience Change. Experience Community. Experience Compassion.

According to a recent campuswide survey:  

• 57% of APSU students face food insecurity. This includes skipping meals, stretching meal plans to make it through the semester, constant stress about high cost of groceries, and lack of access to nutritious fresh produce and protein sources.

• 56% reported that financial stress was impacting their academic performance.

• 54% are first generation students, many of whom lack a support system or financial safety net.

You are not alone. We’ve got your back.

Our department ensures that students can connect with essential resources necessary to take care of basic needs including:
