📢Student parents and planning to have children at Penn!

Learn about the resources available to support your academic journey and family life: from an on-campus family space where connections are made, to both in-person and virtual programs, and from tuition discounts at childcare centers near you, to discounted tutoring and test prep services. There is a spectrum of resources and benefits for Penn students with children — access to those begins with registering for benefits through the Family Center!

Join the Family Center for an upcoming virtual session, registration is required.
