Reauthorizing Campus Child Care Grants: Supporting Low-Income Student Parents.
This bill reauthorizes and expands the CCAMPIS program, providing up to $2 million annually to colleges to offer affordable, high-quality child care services to low-income student parents. The goal is to remove barriers to postsecondary education for parents, ensuring that the child care subsidies they receive do not reduce their eligibility for other financial aid. The program is authorized for $500 million annually through 2030.
Key points
Increases funding for campus-based child care, prioritizing institutions that use sliding fee scales and support single parents.
Child care assistance provided under this program will not count against a student's eligibility for other federal financial aid.
Institutions must ensure child care programs meet high quality standards and assist student parents in enrolling in other federal benefits programs (like SNAP or Medicaid).
