Annual Conference on the First-Year Experience

Abstract

Being able to afford a college education is one of the biggest challenges many entering, first-year students will face. This session will focus on understanding the deleterious effects that financial stress has on academic experiences of first-year students. We will explore how financial stress is linked with activities such as expected difficulty learning course material, managing time, and getting needed help. We will discuss how institutions can help facilitate the academic success of students who are experiencing financial stress.
