Porreco College Student Child Care Grant Information

About the Program

The Erie W om en’s Fund is a local organization that makes annual grants for

•

programs and projects that have the ability to have significant impact on an

intended population in Erie County, Pennsylvania. The year, it is the intent of the

Erie W om en’s Fund to remove one of the typical barriers to higher education

encountered by low income students. Therefore, the Erie W om en’s Fund has

made a grant to the Porreco College of Edinboro University to cover child care

co-payment costs for qualifying students.

The Porreco College Child Care Grant is available to undergraduate, full- or part-

•

time students enrolled at Porreco College. The student must be approved for

subsidy benefits through the Child Care Information Services (CCIS) agency.

The Porreco College Child Care Grant will cover the student’s co-pay balance

•

due to the child care facility, after the CCIS subsidy is applied.

Students must submit an application each semester and meet the eligibility

•

criteria. Completing an application is not a guarantee grants will be awarded;

availability of funds and the number of students who apply are a determining

factor. Upon receipt of the student’s co-pay to the child care facility, the grant

funds will be paid directly to the student.

Applications should be submitted one week after the start of the semester for

•

consideration. We understand that circumstances may change; applications

may be accepted at other times, and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Eligibility

Current full-time or part-time Porreco College students enrolled in a two-year

•

associate degree or certification program are eligible. The student must be

making satisfactory academic progress (2.0 GPA or higher).

Undergraduate students who receive a Pell Grant are given first priority.
