The purpose of CCAMPIS is to support the participation of low-income student parents in postsecondary education by providing campus-based child care services.
TOPInstitutions of higher education that awarded a total of $250,000 or more of Federal Pell Grant funds during FY 2022 to students enrolled at the institution.
TOPFunds must be used to support or establish campus-based child care programs primarily serving the needs of low-income students enrolled in an institution. CCAMPIS Program funds may be used either to directly provide child care services or contract for the provision of child care services. Grants may also be used for before- and/or after-school services.
TOPCompetitions for new grant awards are generally held annually, pending Congressional appropriations.
TOPCCAMPIS grants are made for four-year grant award cycles.
TOPThe FY 2022 average annual grant award amount was $273,221.
TOPThe maximum annual award amount is $500,000 or the amount equivalent to the product of $100 multiplied by the institution’s total number of Pell Grant recipients in FY 2022, whichever amount is greater.
TOPThe FY 2023 competition has six priorities: two absolute priorities, one competitive preference priority and three invitational priorities. The competitive preference priority is Strengthening Cross-Agency Coordination and Community Engagement to Advance Systemic Change. Applicants are encouraged to design projects that take a systemic evidence-based approach to improving outcomes for underserved students in coordinating efforts with Federal, State, or local agencies, or community-based organizations that support students, to address child care. An applicant can receive up to 5 points for addressing the competitive preference priority. The priorities can be found in the Notice Inviting Applications.
TOPThere is no cost matching requirement for the CCAMPIS Program.
TOPAll CCAMPIS grantees will be required to submit an annual performance report documenting the persistence and degree attainment of their participants. Because students may take different lengths of time to complete their degrees, multiple years of performance report data are needed to determine the degree completion rates of CCAMPIS Program participants.
Grantees are required to provide the following data:
The CCAMPIS Program is governed by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA). There are no program-specific regulations; the program adheres to the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), Parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 82, 85, 86, 97, 98, and 99, as well as the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards in 2 CFR part 200, as adopted and amended as regulations of the Department in 2 CFR part 3474.
TOPThe success of the CCAMPIS Program will be measured by the postsecondary persistence and degree of completion rates of CCAMPIS Program participants who remain at the grantee institution.
TOPSubsidizing child care costs for low-income, Pell-eligible students enrolled at the grantee institution; providing child care via campus-based programs or by outsourcing within the community; and/or providing child care services before and/or after school.
