Parenting
- CCAMPIS - (Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program) is a federally funded program that allows SCC to support student-parents in starting and completing their postsecondary education by providing child care subsidies to qualified students.
- CCAP – The Child Care Assistance Program helps low income families pay for child care.
- KTAP – The Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program helps families with children pay for basic household expenses.
Food
- SCC Share and Care Center - Our students are the heart of what we do. The last thing we want our students to worry about is food insecurity. So that is why we have created The Share & Care center on both the Somerset and Laurel campuses. The Share and Care center is a free food pantry for students with food insecurity. Students can access the center with a current SCC ID. It is completely free and its visitors are kept anonymous. The motto of the center is “take if you need, give if you can”.
