Child Care Support for Undergraduate Students

Child Care Support for Undergraduate Students Receiving University Need-based Scholarship

Child Care Support assists undergraduate students with child care expenses for eligible dependents between the ages of 0 to 6 years.

The maximum support is $4,000 a year ($2,000 per semester) per household and is based on expenses incurred during the academic year (9 months). A reduced amount will be offered if the actual expenses are less than the maximum. Funding will appear on the financial aid offer as Child Care Support and will be applied to your student billing account. The Child Care Support will be available regardless of an outstanding balance.  

If you meet the eligibility criteria below, you may submit the Child Care Support Application via document upload in Banner Self-Service.
