Child-care scholarships, adoption help available

Applications for Harvard’s child-care scholarships for faculty, administrative and professional staff, and nonbargaining-unit support staff will be accepted until May 27. This program provides financial assistance for child care for children up to kindergarten age, and eligible after-school care for children of kindergarten age and older. Applications may be downloaded at http://harvie.harvard.edu/workandlife/children/scholarship.shtml#apsf.

In addition, adoption assistance of up to $5,000 will be granted for expenses directly related to the legal adoption of a child. Financial need is not a factor. For additional information, go to http://harvie.harvard.edu/workandlife/children/adoption.shtml, or e-mail childcare_scholarships@harvard.edu for application materials.

These programs are administered through the Harvard University Office of Work/Life Resources.
