• Be Pell Grant eligible.
• Enrolled in credit seeking courses.
• Children must be between 6 weeks – 12 years of age. 
• Your childcare center must agree to accept the CCAMPIS grant payments and meet the CCAMPIS childcare center guidelines. CCAMPIS coordinator can assist and answer questions about this. 

You do not need to be using your Pell Grant to receive a CCAMPIS grant; however, you must be Pell eligible as determined by the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). You can find out if you are Pell eligible by viewing your Student Aid Index (SAI) via the FAFSA website.

Follow these steps to find your SAI:

1. Log in to StudentAid.gov using your account username and password.
2. Select your processed FAFSA submission.
3. Select “View FAFSA Submission Summary.”
4. Select the “Eligibility Overview” tab.

Yes! You must be enrolled at STLCC to qualify, but we will consider your time spent on courses at other institutions when determining your CCAMPIS award. Please include this information with your CCAMPIS Application.

If you receive state childcare subsidy, that amount is applied to your childcare costs first, and the CCAMPIS grant assists with your co-pay. Any cost not covered by state subsidy or CCAMPIS is then paid out of pocket by the parent. 

The CCAMPIS application packet requires three documents: 

• CCAMPIS application
• Your Student Aid Index (SAI)
• An official STLCC Student Schedule 

Yes. If you and your partner are both Pell eligible, you can both apply. The CCAMPIS project coordinator will send each person their own approval letter, and the awards can be used to cover the childcare costs of the same child and/or children.

All CCAMPIS application packets must be submitted via email to CCAMPIS@stlcc.edu. If you need assistance completing or submitting your application, please contact the CCAMPIS Project Coordinator at 314-513-4209 or one of the Student Advocacy & Resource Center coordinators below: 

The CCAMPIS Project Coordinator will send an award letter by email to your official my.stlcc.edu account within the first week of each semester during the standard 16-week Fall or Spring semester. You are responsible for providing the award letter to your CCAMPIS approved licensed or accredited childcare center. The awarded CCAMPIS grant money is paid directly from St. Louis Community College to the childcare center or school district.

CCAMPIS funding is limited. The initial award calculated any time spent in clinical, practicum, and study sessions. However, you can speak to the CCAMPIS Project Coordinator to learn about other resources that may be available. 

Students must apply each semester for the CCAMPIS grant, as the award is determined based on your current class schedule. You must resubmit an application and include your official STLCC class schedule to the CCAMPIS coordinator at CCAMPIS@stlcc.edu. 

As part of the CCAMPIS program, you are required to complete an online survey and attend at least one workshop per semester (Fall and Spring). Check your STLCC student email and/or contact the CCAMPIS Project Coordinator to find out when workshops are available. Failure to meet these expectations will impact your eligibility to receive funding through this federal program!

The CCAMPIS grant can be used at the Child Development Laboratory Centers at STLCC-Florissant Valley and STLCC- Forest Park, or any other licensed or accredited childcare center. However, the center must agree to participate in the program, with the understanding that they will be paid monthly by STLCC after submitting an invoice.

School-age children may attend schools that are accredited for before-school and after-school care.

Please reach out to the CCAMPIS Project Coordinator for a list of current childcare vendors.

To participate in the CCAMPIS program childcare providers must be licensed or accredited and approved by the CCAMPIS Project Coordinator. The provider must also agree to participate in the program, complete appropriate documentation, and submit monthly invoices for payment. The CCAMPIS Project Coordinator can assist you in determining if your provider has already been approved. The Project Coordinator can also guide eligible providers through the approval process if they are interested in participating.

The CCAMPIS grant can be used to pay for registration; however, the childcare center must make the final decision as to whether the money can be used for registration. The registration fee will be taken from the total award and will reduce the amount left for childcare costs.

No, CCAMPIS grant funds are not transferrable to a different semester. You must re-apply for CCAMPIS funding each semester.

If there is funding, CCAMPIS grants can be used for summer courses. Please check with the CCAMPIS coordinator.  

Currently, we do not have any accredited and licensed childcare centers that offer night care.
