Child Care Assistance

Participants must provide the following documents:

• Applying parent’s photo ID

• Student Aid Report downloaded from fafsa.ed.gov

Program eligibility requirements:

• Have completed one semester at SPC
• Enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours per semester
• Must not be accepting ELC child care assistance

How can students enroll in the CCAMPIS progam?
Students will need to complete the CCAMPIS eligibility application. Submission of the online application alone does not qualify as a full application for consideration into the program. Applications will be reviewed, and eligible applicants will be notified of the next steps for the application process, including the submission of required documentation and enrollment in a CCAMPIS-approved child care provider.

What is the eligibility criteria?
Students must meet all of the following as an SPC student:

• Pell eligible based on FAFSA
• Have an overall minimum GPA of 2.5 and in “good academic standing”
• Have completed at least one semester at SPC
• Be enrolled for a minimum of 6 credit hours per semester

Priority will be given to students enrolled full or three-quarters time, in-person classes, and those with at least 12 credits remaining towards graduation.

How will program participants be selected?
An application committee consisting of the Director, Executive Director of Retention Services, program staff, and college personnel will review and accept applicants. Students will be awarded entry into the program and provided vouchers on a first-come, first-served basis, provided eligibility is met.

How much assistance will I receive?
Services for students were initially offered on a sliding fee scale, dependent on SPC enrollment status (number of credit hours) and type of care needed, covering an estimated 40-60% of child care costs. The college reserves the right to make changes based on funding requirements.

Is after-school care covered under the voucher system?
It is if the center where the student uses the voucher offers after-school care.

Where can students use vouchers?
SPC has identified a network of licensed, accredited and reasonably-priced providers near major campus sites with full- or part-time care, before and after-school care, and/or evening care. A list is available on this page.
