Lower Your Child Care Costs
Since fall, 2009, the Center for Women and Families has helped
administer a grant that assists students with child care needs. The
purpose of the program is to help subsidize child care costs for low
income parents of young children that are trying to go back to school
or complete school. The deadline for summer 2012 aopplications is
APRIL 20. The grant covers anywhere from 30% to 70% of an individual's
child care costs with a maximum monthly award of $250 per family. The
amount a student parent can receive is based largely on a sliding
scale which takes into account the number of credits the student is
taking for the current semester and the parent's adjusted gross
inco me. Other factors which are taken into consideratiion include
being a single parent; if both parents are students, and family
medical issues.
