CCAMPIS GRANT UPDATE

More than 40 students have already submitted scholarship applications to be considered for the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Education last month. Selected students will receive child care subsidies, as well as individualized advisement, in an effort to improve recruitment and retention in college education. The $104,809 grant supports the participation of low-income parents in postsecondary education through the provision of campus-based child care services.
