Child Care Program
The North Carolina General Assembly appropriates funds for child care services for student parents in community colleges. This is approved only for a semester at a time and single parents receive first priority. Applicants must have demonstrated financial need, be enrolled at least half-time in a college transfer, technical, or vocational degree or diploma program at Craven Community College, and be willing to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Applicants must not be receiving child care funds from the Department of Social Services. Child care must be provided by a legal child care provider. Interested students must complete a Child Care Program application and submit a copy of their notification from the Department of Social Services, documenting their application status. Students must also maintain satisfactory academic progress according to Craven Community College.
