After surveying 4,000 students attending ten community colleges, researchers found that more than half of all community college students struggle with food insecurity, although the problem exists at four-year institutions, too, for an estimated 20 percent of students. Fifty-six percent of students in the study were employed, with 38 percent working more than 20 hours a week. More than half received a federal study grant and 18 percent were recipients of private scholarships. Despite this, they still didn’t have enough money for food.
