HCC and Workforce Solutions Childcare Program
This State of Texas program is funded through a partnership between HCC and the Workforce Solutions and is based on parent income and the number of credit hours the parent is enrolled in at HCC. Applications, along with the appropriate documentation, can be submitted to an HCC childcare liaison at any one of the six colleges. The documentation is then forwarded to a Workforce Solutions financial aid coordinator, and a funding determination is made based on the information provided, usually within 3-5 business days of receipt. The parent will then be contacted by the Workforce Solutions regarding application approval and co-payments.
Eligibility Requirements
The applicant must be participating full time (10 credit hours) in a training program at one of the HCC colleges.
If the applicant is married, his or her spouse must be working or in school. The gross monthly income must not exceed the income guidelines. All parents are assessed a fee unless they receive TANF or SSI.
