Learner and student supports are the academic, financial, social, and personal assistance services designed to help individuals persist and succeed in education and training. These include advising, tutoring, mentoring, counseling, financial aid, childcare, transportation, and technology access. Effective support services are essential to promoting student success, particularly for adult, nontraditional, and historically underserved learners. Holistic support approaches integrate both academic and nonacademic needs to create conditions that enable learners to thrive.
