Student Parent
The Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) grant program offers invaluable benefits for student-parents by providing access to free or subsidized childcare services while they pursue their education. Firstly, the grant alleviates a significant financial burden for student-parents by covering some or all of the costs associated with childcare, including tuition, fees, and other expenses. This financial support enables student-parents to focus on their studies without worrying about the high costs of childcare, making higher education more accessible and attainable.Moreover, access to quality childcare services through the CCAMPIS grant ensures that student-parents can attend classes, complete assignments, and participate in extracurricular activities without disruptions. This support contributes to higher academic achievement and retention rates among student-parents, as they can better balance their roles as students and parents.
Additionally, the CCAMPIS grant often provides access to educational and support services tailored to the unique needs of student-parents and their children. These services may include parenting workshops, counseling, academic advising, and referrals to community resources, enhancing student-parents and their families' overall well-being and success.
