The University recently announced its new "Student Child Care Assistance Program" (SCCAP) along with a similar program for University employees (ECCAP). According to Graduate School dean William Russell, "the grants under the SCCAP are based on total household income not exceeding $130,000, are portable and can be used to pay for a wide range of possible arrangements, from in-home care to licensed day care centers."
