QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION

COMMENTS FROM CCAMPIS STUDENTS Thanks to the support of CCAMPIS, we were able to meet our financial obligations while completing our degrees. We are both now employed as teachers and have made service and giving back a priority in our lives. I think [CCAMPIS] is a great investment. Before college I was living in public housing and receiving food stamps, medical assistance, free school lunch, etc. I now earn enough and receive no assistance. CCAMPIS was a sound investment. I picked up parenting skills from watching my son at school. We also made good use of the classes and resources available (music class, positive parenting workshop, family photo day). CCAMPIS funding allowed me to complete my undergrad degree and qualify for various grants and honors for my research. I am very grateful for the CCAMPIS funding, and I believe that the investment in myself, my family, and education was a soundI am a determined individual [who] has been faced with a lot of financial challenges throughout my odyssey to obtain a degree. I really appreciate the assistance that AIM was able to provide for my family and I. Without the grant I would not have been able to afford childcare and complete my last semester of my degree. I would have most likely been forced to go back to seasonal/physical labor at $16 an hour and would have been hit hard with student loans that I would not have been able to afford. The importance of this program cannot be overstated.

WRITING FOR CCAMPIS IN 2017 Watch for CCAMPIS grant overview sessions starting in 2016 and make sure you can attend. Start defining your program now and make contacts with: Research and Sponsored Programs Office Student Financial Aid Office, Veterans Student Services, and and other campus departments that track student parent data. If you use your grant writing department, ensure that EVERY requirement is included in your grant. and that all formatting is followed. DO not leave submission until the last day allow your self a week to deal with the on line submission. Find your campus editor, understand how they operate for use later.

DATE:To: Representative Mark PocanFrom: Lynn Edlefson, Director, UW Office of Child Care and Family Resources Regarding: Child Care Access MeansParents in School (CCAMPIS) ProgramOn November 26, I was fortunate to meet you in your session at the Madison downtown library on women in the workforce. Thesession was compelling and important. You may remember that at that hearing, I informed you of the federally funded CCAMPIS grantthat UW Madison was fortunate to be awarded as of October 1, 2014 (summary attached). Our CCAMPIS program here at UW isreferred to as Access for Infants and Mothers (AIM).This CCAMPIS program is administered by the UW Department of Education. It was originally sponsored by Senators Olympia Snoweand Chris Dodd, both supporters of higher education to ensure that barriers to degree did not prevent degree completion. At UWMadison, weve been fortunate to have successfully secured this funding since 1999 and have successfully graduated hundreds ofstudent parent graduates into the workforce. The attached summary provides details on the program, our students, and our outcomes.I am writing today to ask that you consider being a sponsor of this program to increase the allocation from the present $15 millionallocation, which resulted in a mere 52 (out of 240 applicants) awards being granted this past October (in 1999, the allocation was$25 million). As a supporter of education, you are aware that higher education is one of the most significant factors in determining ones ability to support a family and meet the challenges and needs of our workforce. Thank you for your consideration. If I can provide additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me. ADVOCACY

CONCLUSIONS Based on the 12 reporting institutions, CCAMPIS students appear to exceed the national average in persistence. The average investment of the 12 institutions is a sum of $1,513,583 (8% overhead taken out) which comes out to an investment of $2,176 per student served 207 Graduates in 3 years reported From your perspective, is this a sound investment?
