Last October, the Center for Women and Families, received a $58,000 grant that provides. The purpose of the program is to help subsidize child care costs for low income parents of young children that are trying to go back to school. The deadline for spring 2011 applications is DEC 12. The grant covers anywhere from 30% to 70% of an individual’s child care costs, however, the maximum monthly award is $250 per family. The amount a student/parent can receive is based largely on a sliding scale which takes into account the number of credits the student is taking for the current semester and their adjusted gross income. Other factors are also taken into consideration (being a single parent, if both parents are in school, medical issues, etc.)
