Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) Program
Funded through the United States Department of Education, the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program is intended to support student-parents who need child care assistance in order to remain in school and graduate with a college degree. The Child Development and Family Center at NIU is applying for a continuation of funds for the fall 2022 and spring 2023 academic year. As soon as an award has been made we can process and certify families for the program. Student-parents will also be provided additional academic supports, as needed, through the CDFC family coordinator who supervises the program at NIU.
