CCAMPIS Program
The Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program supports eligible FCC students by providing increased access to affordable child care services. Student-parents who are accepted into the program will receive a voucher to help cover the cost of child care services provided. The CCAMPIS program is funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
