Welcome to Child Care Subsidy!
DEADLINE: All application materials must be submitted by Friday of Week 7 at 5pm of each term in order to be eligible for that term. If you complete your application after this deadline, eligibility will begin the following term, pending Subsidy availability and application approval.
Child Care Subsidy, an incidental fee funded program, pays a percentage of child care expenses for low-income student parents. The goal of the program is to ease the financial pressure of paying child care expenses while also paying college tuition. Based on their need level, parents receive a subsidy ranging from 20%-50%.
The subsidy applies to the fiscal year of July 1 to June 30; consequently, student parents must reapply every school year (student parents attending summer school must reapply at the beginning of the summer to receive subsidy for the summer and the following school year). New applications for each year will be available by JUNE 1, both online and in our office.
The ASUO Subsidy Task Force determines the number of subsidy recipients. Currently, the first 190 eligible applicants are awarded subsidy [subject to change to stay within budget]. The Task Force also rules on exceptions that are filed by students. All incidental fee paying students are eligible to attend and vote in Task Force meetings-- we encourage you to attend the meetings and help decide exceptions and vote on Child Care Subsidy policies that are up for review. For more information on Task Force meetings, please inquire at the Subsidy desk.
All forms are available for download (in .pdf format--Adobe Acrobat is required). Forms are also available in the Child Care Subsidy office.
Additional Forms: change & spousal equivalency
