Funded by student incidental fees, this subsidy provides financial assistance for child-care costs to eligible university students that can be used for either UO-affiliated or certified community child care. (541) 346-0632.
ASUO Women’s Center Child Care Scholarship
Childcare reimbursement reimbursements are available through the Women's Center to students, faculty and staff attending University events. You pay your family childcare provider, and the Women's Center will reimburse your cost. To apply, simply download the form, fill it out and drop it off at the Women's Center prior to your event. (Three working days is preferred.) Our Nontraditional Student Advocate will contact you to let you know if you've received the reimbursement.
What can I use the reimbursements for?
University of Oregon events on or off campus. Consider using the reimbursements for a campus lecture, an event like Take Back the Night or the Willamette Valley Folk Festival, or something like a theater production or musical performance.
Can I use it more than once?
Yes, but our funds are limited. If looking for long-term childcare assistance, try the ASUO childcare subsidy.
How much is reimbursed?
It depends on how much funding we have, but we usually reimburse up to 50 dollars. Where does the money come from? This program is supported solely by donations and fundraised funds. If you would like to make a contribution or lend a hand with our fundraising efforts, please contact our Nontraditional Student Advocate at 346-4095.
