CHILD CARE SUBSIDY PROGRAMS
Child Care Access Means Parents In School
Student Parents to Benefit From $1.2 Million Child Grant
October 4, 2005 - Penn State will distribute $1.2 million in student parent childcare subsidies during the next four years. The subsidies generate from a new grant the University received from the U.S. Department of Education. Penn State was awarded the maximum amount possible under the federal Child Care Access Means Parents in School program. The University will receive $300,000 per year for four years. The new funding represents an $80,000 increase over an existing grant that expired September 30, 2005. Childcare subsidies will be distributed to student parents at all Penn State locations. As required by the Department of Education, priority will be given to student parents who receive federal Pell Grants. Students who do not receive Pell Grants can apply for future subsidy distributions.
