College helps with child care
College of the Mainland has been approved for subsidized child care through Workforce Solutions, formerly The WorkSource. COM has a local initiative contract with Workforce Solutions and they will determine eligibility for the child care scholarship. Students must enroll full-time or work 30 hours per week and attend COM part-time as part of the qualifications.
The Workforce office is located at 3547 Palmer Highway in Texas City and its telephone number is 409-949-9055. Students must mention that they are enrolled at College of the Mainland in order to apply for child care assistance.
College of the Mainland also offers the Carl Perkins Child Care grant for its students. This grant is for technical-vocational students who attend full-time and qualify for the Federal Pell Grant. The grant pays $80 per week per child. Applications are available in the financial aid office at COM, Room A149.
The College offers low-cost evening child care for students attending night courses. The campus child care lab is open from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday. There is a $5 registration fee and the cost is $3 per child per day.
“We are excited to able to help our students with costly child care expenses,” said Becky Miles, acting director of student financial services at COM.
“College of the Mainland’s financial aid office is continually looking for ways to save students money and we will share these resources as they become available.”
