The Child Care Access Means Parents In School (CCAMPIS) grant is a federal program of the U.S. Department of Education that assists student parents with the cost of keeping their children enrolled in quality, accredited, and conveniently located child care services. Our program provides partial funding to students who are eligible to receive Pell grants and are in pursuit of post-secondary education.
Workshops
CCAMPIS participants are required to attend ONE parent orientation during the awarded semester. Additional parent workshops/events are offered each semester and count towards Parent Points. Collected points are used to apply for the CCAMPIS Engaged Student Parent Scholarship.

Does the CCAMPIS program pay for my child's entire child care cost?
The CCAMPIS program will fund partial child care assistance. The student/parent will
be responsible for a child care co-payment and this will be based on a sliding fee
scale according to the student's enrollment status and estimated family contribution.
If my Pell award is pending, can I still apply for the CCAMPIS program?
Yes. You can still apply for the CCAMPIS program. But, your application will be incomplete.
