Department of Education – Office of Postsecondary Education Attention institutions of higher education awarding Federal Pell Grant funds! The Department of Education (ED) – Office of Postsecondary Education is accepting applications for the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) Program. Rising childcare costs and reduced capacity of the Early Childhood Education sector to provide childcare due, in part, to workforce shortages, are causing families to choose between school and work. Poverty reduces a student’s opportunity to enter, persist, and complete higher education. Students from low-income backgrounds are more likely to delay enrollment, enroll in college part-time, or drop out. This program supports low-income parents enrolled in postsecondary education by providing campus-based childcare services.
