The Irvine Child Care Project (ICCP) provides scholarships to income-eligible families which provides help paying for your child to attend an ICCP child care program. This funding can be used to attend any ICCP program, as there is one located on each Irvine Unified School District elementary campus.

Families must meet the following criteria to be eligible for an ICCP Scholarship:

• The child must attend an IUSD school.
• Qualifying family income must meet current HUD income guidelines, based on family size.
• Adult household members must be employed.

Due to the availability of temporary, one-time funds provided through the CARES Act, families who have lost employment, wages, or are at risk of homelessness due to the coronavirus pandemic may also be eligible for funding.

Awards to eligible applicants cover a percentage of monthly tuition fees based on demonstrated financial need. Scholarship payments are made directly to the ICCP child care provider.

I am very excited to announce that the ICCP Scholarship Application is now an online application, meaning you can fill the application out online, upload supporting documentation and submit. As of today ICCP will no longer be accepting paper applications.
