Jax State’s CCAMPIS Program Now Available

Jacksonville State University (Jax State) has been awarded the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) grant to provide financial assistance to full-time undergraduate and graduate students needing quality childcare. This initiative aims to improve access to childcare for student-parents, helping them effectively manage their educational and parenting commitments.

Student-parents are considered for childcare assistance through CCAMPIS funding based on Pell Grant eligibility, financial income, basic need, resources, and family contribution levels. This includes all full day programs, from 7:30am until 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. Full-time student-parents of Jax State Pre-K students may also qualify for CCAMPIS tuition assistance for the after-care program, which runs daily from 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Eligibility Guidelines:

  • Undergraduate students must be receiving a PELL Grant or be PELL Grant eligible based on Expected Family Contribution. A FASFA must be completed and on file with the Financial Aid Office.
  • Graduate/Professional and International students enrolled at Jax State may be eligible to receive CCAMPIS assistance pending verification of eligibility and Expected Family Contribution.
  • Child care services are only offered through the Jax State Child Development Center, which serves children from six week to pre-K.

 

Parent Expectations:

  • Attend one parent workshop each semester
  • Attend one Student-Parent Support Group each semester
  • Attend at least one academic counseling session each academic year
  • Attend the annual Parent Fair to learn about additional services for families
  • Submit a pre-term and post-term evaluation
