IUP has received a $2 million gift for the Impact 150 campaign that will help student-parents.
The grant will fund the Child Care Access Means Parents In School, or CCAMPIS program through the 2029-2023 school year. IUP is one of two schools in Pennsylvania and one of 40 nationwide that successfully secured the funding, which was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education.
The university expects to support 40 to 50 student-parents each year of the program. IUP currently has 300 student-parents, and 133 of them are in undergraduate programs.
This grant is part of IUP’s Impact 150 comprehensive fundraising campaign, in honor of the university’s now over-150 years of existence.
