Madison College learned on Oct. 19 that its application for $2 million in federal Child Care Access Means Parents in School funding was not selected, despite receiving a perfect score from reviewers. The college announced the loss of the CCAMPIS grant, which supports childcare aid for student parents, in a news posting dated Nov. 5, 2026. The college's news page lists the funding decision under the headline Madison College loses $2M in federal childcare aid for student parents. The posting states the application had not been selected for funding even though reviewers gave it a perfect score. The supplied news listing excerpt does not include the full article behind the Read More link, so it does not describe how the college plans to replace the aid or which programs the $2 million would have funded. The excerpt also does not identify the federal agency's rationale for the selection decision.

The page also lists an Early Childhood Education Info Session scheduled for Nov. 11, 2026, from 6 to 7 p.m.
