Life doesn’t stop for school, but it can get in the way of getting the most out of your education.

SOARS helps students bridge the gap between what you have and what you need.

While asking for help can be hard, it’s not usual. Similar types of programs to help students meet their unmet needs are popping up all over:

• Food insecurity has soared nationwide. Student-hunger activists are adapting to the need.
• Students Are Struggling With Basic Needs. So Colleges Are Tapping ‘Benefits Navigators.’
• Congress Hears Solutions to Campus Food Insecurity
• Oregon Bill Would Require Colleges to Hire Staff to Help Students Find Food and Housing Aid
• Can peer counseling ease the campus mental health crisis?

We offer assistance for academic and personal success skills, goal setting, community referrals, support, and accountability.

Here is a list of resources offered at The Ohio State University and the surrounding Columbus area. This list will continue to be updated as we become aware of more resources.
