(2023) . Exploring Indicators of Student Success Among Undergraduates. Trellis Company.  \nKey Findings  \n• Forty-eight percent of respondents in the Student Financial Wellness Survey (SFWS) who had experienced financial challenges while in college said they had difficulty concentrating on schoolwork because of their financial situation.  \n• Older students, first-generation students, Black students, and parenting students were more likely to say they had difficulty concentrating on schoolwork due to financial issues compared to their peers.  \n• A quarter of parenting students reported missing at least one class due to lack of childcare. The percentage of parenting students missing class for this reason was even higher for those who had experienced basic needs insecurities.  \n• More than two-thirds of students who had experienced homelessness reported having difficulty concentrating on schoolwork because of their financial issues.  \nIn order to thrive in college, students need general good health, sufficient energy, the capacity to focus on their studies, and the chance to actively participate in classes. Stress related to financial matters and mental health issues can disrupt the essential dynamics that contribute to achieving academic success.  \nThis brief examines data from 36,446 students at 89 higher education institutions that participated in Trellis’ Fall 2022 Student Financial Wellness  \nSurvey (SFWS) . The report focuses on questions in the survey regarding difficulty concentrating on school and missing classes due to financial pressures.  \nDifficulty Concentrating on Schoolwork  \nNearly three-quarters of survey respondents reported they had experienced financial difficulties or challenges while in college. Almost half of these students, 48 percent, said that these challenges had negatively impacted their academics by making it difficult to concentrate on schoolwork.  \nOlder students, first-generation students, Black students, and parenting students were more likely to say they had difficulty concentrating on schoolwork because of their financial situation compared to their peers.  \nTRELLIS RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT REPORT BRIEF  \nPercent of respondents who reported difficulty concentrating  \non schoolwork because of their financial situation  \nAge Group  \nImportance of Supporting Family Financially While in School  \nHow Students Who Work View Themselves  \nRace/Ethnicity  \nFirst Generation Status  \nParent Status  \nUnder 25  \n25 and older  \nImportant Not Important  \nStudent Who Works Worker Attending School  \nBlack Hispanic White  \nFirst Generation Not First Generation  \nParent Not a Parent  \n46%  \n52%  \n55%  \n42%  \n48%  \n55%  \n53%  \n50%  \n45%  \n55%  \n45%  \n52%  \n47%  \nAverage:  \n48%  \nAdditionally, students who saw themselves as workers who attend school and students who reported it was important that they support their family financially while enrolled were more likely to report having difficulty concentrating on schoolwork.  \nThe table below examines the percentage of respondents with ten key indicators of distress who had missed classes due to lack of childcare, missed classes due to lack of transportation, or had difficulty concentrating on schoolwork due to their financial situation. The key indicators of distress are those who:  \n• experienced financial difficulties or challenges while in college,  \n• would have trouble finding $500 in cash or credit in the next month in an emergency,  \n• would be unable to get $500 in cash or credit in the next month in an emergency,  \n• ran out of money eight or more times during the year,• sold their belongings to make ends meet,  \n• indicated a likelihood of experiencing a major depressive disorder,  \n• indicated a likelihood of experiencing a generalized anxiety disorder,  \n• were categorized as havin","cbCaiig48Mhhwqqp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiig48Mhhwqqp","pdf",372414,"English","# Key Findings\n## Difficulty Concentrating on Schoolwork\n## Importance of Supporting Family Financially While in School\n## Indicators of Distress and Missed Classes\n## Student Characteristics by Distress Indicator","[{\"question\":\"What is the main relationship the report examines between finances and student success?\",\"answer\":\"It examines how financial difficulties affect academic functioning, especially difficulty concentrating on schoolwork and missing classes.\"},{\"question\":\"What percentage of respondents reported difficulty concentrating due to financial challenges?\",\"answer\":\"Among students who experienced financial challenges while in college, 48% reported that the challenges made it difficult to concentrate on schoolwork.\"},{\"question\":\"Which student groups were more likely to have difficulty concentrating due to financial issues?\",\"answer\":\"Older students, first-generation students, Black students, and parenting students were more likely than their peers to report concentration difficulty tied to financial problems.\"}]","SPOTLIGHT REPORT BRIEF - Exploring Indicators of Student Success Among Undergraduates | PDF",1792062550]
