Child Care Assistance Program–Fall 2010

If you are a graduate student with children between the ages of 0 and 12, you are eligible—to apply for subsidies from GSS to help with your childcare costs, whether you pay a third-party for childcare or whether you take care of your children yourself. These subsidies are financed through a combination of funding sources, including: the Graduate Student Senate Tax, Child Care Funds from the GEO/UAW collective bargaining agreement, and the UAW/UMASS Health and Welfare Trust Fund. The subsidies are generally allocated during the beginning of the Fall and Spring semester for use during the academic year.
