Abstract: This brief highlights how widespread financial instability and volatile employment are disrupting students' ability to persist in higher education. A majority of students reported losing at least one source of aid and most working students experiencing hour changes. These pressures often force students to reduce their course loads or alter their enrollment, slowing their academic progress.
