Grant And Assistance??

[kayla]

does anyone know if you can recieve a post secondary grant from school and child care assistance?? I have a parent who has child care assistance to pay me and she applied for a child care grant to pay her night time babysitter i was just curious if anyone knows if she will get it??

Where I live that is pretty common. The college gives the parent a child care grant to pay for coursework done during the day (or evenings) and child care assistance picks up the remaining balance.

Since the mom I had though used me for both work and college, I had to apply the grant to her child care cost first before the assistance would pay for anything.

There is no reason why a parent cannot get both a grant and assistance. But no one can be paid twice for the same services.

Thanks so much for your reply, i just was not sure. She uses child care assistance to pay me and she will use the grant if she gets it to pay her night time babysitter while she is in class.
