Childcare and Academic Enrichment Fellowship News


As every working parent knows, it is difficult to raise children while also being employed. The Union has negotiated with the University to provide a variety of benefits to support working parents including maternity and paternity leave, family sick days, full benefits for part-time workers and work schedule flexibility.

Additionally, the Childcare Fellowship helps parents with the increasing cost of childcare during a parent’s work hours. It subsidizes childcare in different forms: daycare, in-home care, after-school programs, vacation and summer camps, and public kindergarten (not private).

The Academic Enrichment Fellowship assists with the cost of academic enrichment such as SAT/ACT test prep classes, academic tutoring, an academically-based school program, academically-based extra-curricular activity, academically-based summer camp or vacation camp, college prep classes, exam fees, or college application fees.

HUCTW members with children ages 0-13 may apply for the Childcare Fellowship.
HUCTW members with children ages 5-18 may apply for the Academic Enrichment Fellowship.
