摘要：

This cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence of food insecurity among undergraduate college students (N = 524) in a poverty area. Results indicate that over half of the students (54%) who experienced food insecurity also indicated that they had been eligible for a Pell Grant. Food-insecure students were more likely to report a lower (Graduate Point Average) GPA (2.0/4.0). Data suggest that food insecurity is an issue for a large percentage of the sample. Food insecurity may also have adverse effects on students' commitment and ability to continue their college education.
