Childcare Reimbursement Program

Sponsored by Student Life & Interest Commitee under the auspice of the Student Government Association, UW-Washington County offers to those who qualify, childcare reimbursement. We understand the trials of being a parent and a student. While enrolled at UW-WC (at least part-time), both you and your child can experience a stimulating environment which encourages exploration, critical thinking and an active involvement in your futures. Although our opinion may be biased, we believe we have some of the greatest professors in the UW System. We are committed to excellence. We are here to help. Welcome to UW-Washington County!

Priority for Eligibility

• Applicants must be enrolled at UW-Washington County for a minimum of six credits.
• Each applicant is only accepted for a semester at a time. Returning students must reapply for each new semester at UW-Washington County.
• The application period is limited to the first ten weeks of the fall and spring semesters.
• Each case is looked at separately and investigated to a reasonable point.

Due Dates

• Each week, the applicants must have their professors complete the weekly child care form. It is the applicant's responsibility to see that the weekly form is filled out appropriately.
• The childcare forms for the current semester must be turned in to Debbie Butschlick (Room 144 or mailbox in the main office) during the week of final exams. Exceptions will not be made for late forms.
