Financial Assistance Options

Obtain and application from the Department of Health and Human Services. You must be working in order to receive assistance. The amount of reimbursement is based on the number of hours you are working per week and your income. For more information go to DHS website: http://michigan.gov/dhs/0,1607,7-124-5453---,00.html
If you are a Undergraduate or Graduate Student and need assistance, you need to let the Director know when you fill out the initial application for childcare. You will need to provide income verification, student status, and personal information about your individual situation. This information will be kept confidential. The graduate school will be awarding five, one year scholarships for partial coverage of childcare tuition. For more information contact Eva-Marie Hatfield at (906) 487-3528 or ehatfield@gretchenshouse.com
Undergraduate or Graduate students should still apply for financial assistance through the Department of Health and Human Services. You may be eligible to receive benefits from both programs.
Students may also use their overage checks from the Department of Financial Aid to cover childcare costs. Students have the option of taking out a student loan to cover other college related costs including childcare.

In order to clear up some confusion about child care rates, we have provided some information to help compare your current rates to the Little Huskies rates

Remember that our rates are figured out at a monthly rate not a weekly rate. During the months that there are five weeks the rates do not increase.
In order to figure out an accurate weekly full time rate for Little Huskies you must take monthly rate divided by 4.3 (weeks in a month).
In order to compare your current weekly situation, multiply by 4.3.
