Seminole state college of florida ccampis project

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education awarded Seminole State College of Florida $1,753,684 under the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) Program (CFDA 84.335) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The grant funds campus-based child care services designed to remove barriers to postsecondary education participation for low-income student parents. Through this award, the college will establish or expand child care center operations, provide childcare vouchers to eligible students through licensed community providers, and deliver before- and after-class support services. The funding enables the institution to implement sliding fee scales to ensure affordability and leverage institutional resources to maximize program impact.

The CCAMPIS program supports a four-year project period and emphasizes child care solutions that directly facilitate continued enrollment and academic progress for economically disadvantaged student parents. As a competitive federal initiative, the program prioritizes applications demonstrating significant institutional or local resource leverage and sustainable service delivery models. Seminole State College's award reflects the program's ongoing commitment to expanding equitable access to higher education through integrated child care support services.
