The Childcare Support Fund is offered by Services for Students with Children (SSWC) at Portland State University (PSU). The subsidy provides financial assistance to eligible students raising children to help ease the cost of childcare during PSU’s academic year. SSWC believes that every child deserves quality childcare while caregivers pursue their educational goals. By providing families assistance to help offset the cost of childcare, SSWC helps student parents meet their educational and personal needs, and improve their retention and long-term success.
