Child Care Grants for EKU Students

Earning a degree while raising children can be challenging, but it could become a little easier at Eastern Kentucky University. A grant awarded to the Applied Human Sciences (formerly Family & Consumer Sciences) department will help low-income student parents gain access to affordable child care. 

The Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) grant, which EKU received in late 2018, will fund the Student Child Care Assistance Program (SCCAP). SCCAP represents a partnership between the University and local child care providers. Eligible students with children can receive a voucher funding quality child care while they attend class. Vouchers can also fund tuition for after-school and summer programs.
