Save CCAMPIS!
The Child Care Access Means Parents in Schools (CCAMPIS) grant, is the only source of federal funding supporting childcare specifically for student parents. The program, with a total federal budget of $15 million per year, provides four-year grants to colleges and universities to facilitate affordable campus-based childcare for student parents. With 4.8 Million student parents nationally, need is much greater than current funding, however the program is currently at risk.
The CCAMPIS program is currently at high risk of being defunded, despite it’s important impact on college access and success for student parents. Please call your Senators and Congress People and ask them to ensure that CCAMPIS stays funded!
