Child Care Assistance offered through the Family Resource Center is funded through OSU Student Fees. The assistance is separate from any other "child care" related assistance that a student may receive through the State or University such as grants/loans/subsidies, etc. If you are a student receiving other "child care" related assistance, you may still qualify for Child Care Assistance through the Family Resource Center.
