Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 061918 001
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) Program, listed under CFDA number 84.335A, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help more low-income parents stay enrolled and succeed in college by improving access to child care. The central idea behind the program is straightforward: when student-parents cannot find affordable, reliable child care, they are more likely to miss classes, reduce course loads, or stop out entirely. CCAMPIS addresses that barrier by supporting campus-based child care services that make it more realistic for student-parents with financial need to participate in postsecondary education.
This particular opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 061918 001) was posted with applications available beginning June 19, 2018, and a deadline to submit applications by July 24, 2018. The Department anticipated making a large number of awards (an expected 212 awards), with an award ceiling of $375,000 per grant. Because it is categorized as a discretionary grant, funding is awarded competitively, meaning eligible institutions submit proposals and are evaluated based on criteria described in the official application notice.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with a note indicating that additional eligibility details may apply under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section referenced in the full notice. In practice, the program is aimed at colleges and universities that serve students with financial need and that can either operate or expand child care services connected to the campus so those services directly support enrolled student-parents.
The description provided for this opportunity is explicitly labeled as a synopsis and emphasizes that the legally controlling and most complete requirements are found in the Federal Register application notice. Applicants are directed to review that official notice for the full set of rules and expectations, including eligibility specifics, pre-application and application requirements, submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and program contact information. The summary also points applicants to the Department of Education's "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" (published February 12, 2018, 83 FR 6003), which outlines standardized submission and administrative requirements that apply across many Education discretionary grant competitions.Apply for ED GRANTS 061918 001
