Subsidized childcare is available to qualifying students at UT Tyler, as part of a collaboration between UT Tyler and the East Texas Workforce Board. The university’s early childhood program was certified as qualifying for matching funds for Child Development Block Grants. The cost of courses that contribute toward professional development of educators and early childhood caregivers can be used as matching funds for subsidized childcare. The grant funds are used for direct costs of childcare. To qualify, UT Tyler students must meet economic qualifications specified by the Texas Workforce Commission and provide verification of college participation. They also must reside in the 14-county delivery area of the East Texas Workforce Board, which includes Anderson, Henderson, Rains, Cherokee, Harrison, Panola, Upshur, Smith, Van Zandt, Camp, Gregg, Marion, Rusk and Wood counties. For more information, students should call TWC childcare
services at 1-800-676-8283 and specify that they attend UT Tyler.
The university does not handle applications, assist with the process
or track participation in the program.
