Abstract	It is often thought that college undergraduates are young, recent high school graduates. Overall, this is the norm -- last year, roughly 70 percent of undergraduates eligible for the State Grant were dependent students, meaning they were dependent on a parent for financial support. However, nearly 30 percent of undergraduates who were eligible for a State Grant were listed as independents last year, indicating that they do not rely on a parent or guardian for financial support. This generally means that they are adult learners. Often an overlooked group, adult learners make up a sizeable portion of the undergraduate population in Minnesota. Many are -- in addition to being college students -- parents, spouses, and employees. This report presents data regarding undergraduate student parents in Minnesota. (ERIC).
