Summary

The Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program is a federal grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education. CCAMPIS supports the participation of low-income parents in postsecondary education through the provision of campus-based child care services. Eligible applicants are typically institutions of higher education that receive funds under the federal Pell Grant program. The grant aims to expand or improve child care programs that enable student-parents to remain enrolled and succeed academically.

What they want

Federal grant program (not a procurement contract) to fund campus-based child care services at institutions of higher education. Grantees are expected to use funds to support low-income student-parents by providing or subsidizing child care, enabling continued postsecondary enrollment and completion. Specific programmatic requirements, allowable activities, and reporting obligations are governed by the CCAMPIS statute (HEA Title IV, Part F) and program regulations.
