CCAMPIS is a federally funded grant that provides eligible Northeast State student parents with childcare subsidies to Tennessee licensed providers that deliver full-day childcare services for infants through pre-school ages with at least 13 children. Spaces are limited. A sliding fee scale is used to determine student-parent cost to the provider. Northeast State does not provide on-site or drop-off child care services.
Funds are limited and not everyone who applies receives an award. Student parents may be placed on a waiting list. Student parents who have earned bachelor's degrees are not eligible to apply.
Northeast State developed a sliding fee schedule based on the student parent’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC), as determined by FAFSA. Subsidies will be calculated as a percentage of the fee for which the student parent is responsible. The parent fee is determined by the childcare center after all other sources of aid are applied (social services, provider-sponsored discounts, etc.).
Expected Family Contribution (EFC) | CCAMPIS Subsidy (% of Parent Fee Owed as Determined by Childcare Center) |
---|---|
0 – 1999 | 90% |
2000 – 3999 | 80% |
4000 – 5846 *or maximum Pell Grant EFC | 70% |
CCAMPIS funds are provided for the fall and spring semesters and during winter break. Summer subsidies may be available. All subsidies are provided directly to the childcare center. Student fees are paid by the student directly to the childcare center in accordance to their policies. Students are responsible for all other center fees (application, supplies, field trips, late fees, etc.).
CCAMPIS subsidies cannot be used to hold/reserve childcare slots.
A list of childcare centers can be found at onedhs.tn.gov/.
A childcare center’s Quality rating status and compliance history report should always be verified through the TNDHS website.
