Care to Learn aims to provide financial support to teenage mothers and fathers who want to continue their education or training and need help with the cost of their childcare and travel expenses.

Assistance with Childcare

Many students have young children, a fact that often makes attendance at college difficult. So to make things easier, there are some financial support offers available to eligible students.
