Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program (CCAMPIS)

The Childcare Access Means Parents in School Program (CCAMPIS) is a federal grant funded 100% by the U.S. Department of Education. This program supports the participation of low-income student-parents enrolled in postsecondary education through the provision of campus-based child care services. These services include a stipend of up to $150 a week paid directly to participating Quality Rated childcare centers on behalf of the participant. In addition to minimizing childcare cost, CCAMPIS will partner with on- and off-campus resources to support and motivate student-parents toward the successful completion of a Bachelor’s degree.
