A bill to improve the Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program.
Summary
This bill aims to make it easier for college students with children to access affordable childcare by expanding the federal Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program. It would increase the minimum grant amount awarded to colleges and universities to $30,000, ensuring institutions have more substantial resources to support on-campus daycare services. Additionally, the bill expands eligibility to include graduate students, international students, and certain low-income families who do not qualify for Pell Grants, allowing a broader range of student-parents to receive financial assistance for childcare while completing their degrees.
