The Happy OU Project is a federally funded CCAMPIS (Childcare Access Means Parents in School) Grant from the U.S Department of Education received by faculty at the Jeanine Rainbolt College of Education.
This grant allows qualifying student parents to receive a childcare subsidy (full or partial tuition coverage) for OU’s Institute of Child Development, which serves children ages 6 weeks to 4 years, or a qualifying Before/After Care program for school-aged children. Summer subsidy help is also available for student parents with children ages newborn through 5th grade.
