    How would expanding SNAP eligibility to half-time college students affect the program's overall budget and which institutions would see the largest enrollment increases?

  2. 02

    What evidence suggests that current SNAP restrictions prevent college students from accessing adequate nutrition, and how does that compare to other student support programs?

  3. 03
