Financial Aid<br />

investigated whether food insecure students are utilizing these programs. The<br />
study found that 75 percent of food insecure students received some form<br />
of financial aid. Fifty-two percent reported receiving Pell Grants during the<br />
current academic year and 37 percent reported taking out student loans.<br />
