The current federal Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) grant that funds childcare awards for STLCC students will end on August 1, 2025.

Although the U.S. Department of Education previously indicated a new grant competition would occur this summer, no timeline or details have been released. Due to uncertainty at the federal level, students should expect a disruption in childcare funding beyond August 1 until new funding is secured.

If you're enrolling for Fall 2025, please plan for alternative childcare arrangements. STLCC remains committed to supporting parenting students and encourages you to look into the following resources:

• Missouri Office of Childhood – Parent Landing: Find licensed childcare providers, estimate eligibility and apply for state childcare subsidies.
• STLCC Student Advocacy & Resource Center (SARC): Schedule an appointment to get help applying for state childcare benefits and access other student support services.
• STLCC Child Development Centers: On-campus childcare is available at Forest Park and Florissant Valley for enrolled students.

STLCC is actively exploring other funding opportunities and will share important updates on this page as new information becomes available.
