Task 1: College Assistance Program

Guideline: As noted by the Office of Migrant Education, "The federal College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) assists students who are migratory or seasonal farm workers (or children of such workers) enrolled in their first year of undergraduate studies at an institution of higher education. The funding supports completion of the first year of studies." Educators working with high school age migrant students should be aware of how their students can benefit from this program.
