Bill > S1403

This bill, titled the "Expanding On-Campus Child Care to Help Student Parents Succeed Act," amends the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) Program under the Higher Education Act of 1965. The key provisions of the bill include: increasing the minimum grant amount to $50,000; allowing the Secretary to increase grant amounts for institutions that demonstrate success in serving low-income student parents; expanding the allowable uses of grant funds to include improving the quality of campus-based child care facilities, providing subsidies to additional student parents, and offering support services; and increasing the annual appropriation for the program to $200 million. The goal of the bill is to facilitate the success of low-income parents in postsecondary education through the provision of subsidized, high-quality child care services on college campuses.
