Child Care Options

Free Childcare Vouchers

DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE WITH CHILD CARE? HCTC CAN HELP.

HCTC has partnered with local childcare providers to offer a limited number of vouchers to help students with childcare costs while attending classes or working. The Department of Education's CCAMPIS Program funds eligibility based on income, household size, first-generation status, and credit hours. The Academic Program Coordinator will interview and select participants at the beginning of each semester.

Program Requirements:

  • Participate in at least one parental involvement activity per semester.
  • Meet with an advisor each semester for course scheduling.
  • Access services from the Success Zone.
  • Complete a Graduation Plan.
  • Apply to the Ready to Work Program.
  • Remain in good academic standing and maintain at least 6 credit hours.
  • Complete FAFSA and seek scholarships.
  • Notify the Coordinator of any changes affecting eligibility.
