1 in 3 University of Tennessee students face uncertainty about where their next meal will come from; in some cases, they must make a choice between buying books or food, based on their budget. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrution Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) can be a life-changing boost to a student's financial situation. At SNAP Access Day you'll hear perspectives from the Center for Financial Wellness, Tennessee Justice Center, the University of Kentucky, and UTHSC to learn the benefits of federal food aid as well as the barriers students face to access it.
