CCAMPIS (Childcare Access Means Parents in School) federal funding for $462,000 in the second year of a four-year grant benefits student-parents who are in financial need by subsidizing 90% of the fee to send their pre-school child to the Virginia Marx Children’s Center (VMCC). This aid, supplemented by a first-time grant of $20,000 from St. Faith’s House that pays the remaining 10% of tuition, removes a significant barrier for student-parents pursuing their education while raising children.
