Nearly one in four college students struggle with food insecurity. Over the past decade, states and postsecondary institutions have expanded support for student nutritional needs through food pantries, emergency aid grants, and efforts to increase student participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) through outreach and application assistance. RAND partnered with the Colorado Department of Higher Education and the Colorado Department of Human Services to build evidence on state and local efforts to expand college students' SNAP participation. In this report, the authors (1) identify trends in SNAP eligibility, applications, denials, and participation for college students enrolled at Colorado postsecondary institutions between the 2014-2015 and 2021-2022 academic years; (2) assess how SNAP eligibility and participation varies across key student subgroups and across Colorado institutions; and (3) explore college efforts to scale SNAP outreach and application support in Colorado and highlight promising approaches from leading institutions and remaining barriers hindering student SNAP participation. The analyses draw on statewide administrative data on college enrollees and SNAP participants and applicants, surveys of staff who manage students' basic needs, and interviews with postsecondary institutions that are leaders in basic needs support and other state and nonprofit stakeholders.
