Purpose of Program
The Basic Needs for Postsecondary Students Program provides grants to eligible institutions of higher education (IHEs) to support programs that address the basic needs of students and to report on practices that improve outcomes for students.
The Basic Needs for Postsecondary Students Program supports IHEs that demonstrate a commitment to developing or enhancing systemic approaches to support the basic needs of students. There is growing evidence that food and housing insecurities compromise the well-being of millions of students across the country, which may reduce the odds that they will complete their degrees or certificates.
