Grant is accepting applications for Autumn 2021 semester! Pell-grant eligible undergraduate or low-income graduate students.
The Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program is authorized by the Higher Education Act and administered by the U.S. Department of Education. The grant supports the participation of low-income parents in post secondary education, through the provision of quality licensed, nationally accredited campus or community childcare services, for children six weeks to 12 years old. CCAMPIS provides the following: priority scheduling, *evening childcare options, life skills coaching, and referrals to university and community resources.
*Evening care is temporarily unavailable due to limited staffing at some centers.
