AmericanScholarship - Update on Scholarships in America

The United States Department of Education provides all funding for the CCAMPIS Child Care Subsidy and now mandates that applicants use a child care center that is either campus based or ASU must have oversight authority over it. This form includes the complete list of centers that currently participate in the CCAMPIS Subsidy program. Additional centers may be added to this list. New rules also require that the subsidy program include an evaluation component. The evaluation will gather information on usage and investigate and summarize attitudes, opinions and experiences of student parents receiving funding.
