Required textbooks and instructional materials are available for eligible students while supplies last. This may include things like culinary uniforms, knife sets, pastry/cake decorating kits, nursing semester bundles, EMT collared shirts, and more.

All items are purchased through the CTC Bookstore. If an item that is required by a class is out of stock, the Success Programs Specialist will purchase it as soon as it becomes available.
 
To qualify for tablet lending, students must have at least one required code for their class. Tablets and non-reference textbooks must be returned at the end of the semester without damage.

Note: The program does not cover classes that are not on the student's degree plan, are a developmental class, or a retake. Any lost or damaged materials will not be replaced by the program. The Success Programs Specialist cannot mail books or take pictures of codes to send to students. Students must be able to physically pick up books and codes from the Central Texas campus

For qualified students, up to three children can be covered for childcare assistance at up to $90 per week per child, with funding being sent directly to the parent's daycare of choice every month. Students may select any licensed home care provider or childcare facility. Funding for childcare assistance is limited only to days when CTC is open, so dates overlapping holidays or school breaks will not be covered by the program. To view CTC observed holidays and breaks, please view the Academic Calendar. 
 
Required Documentation:

• A copy of a birth certificate for each child (up to three children)
• A copy of your chosen daycare's Texas Childcare Provider License
• Submitting the online application via Eforms

 
Once accepted into the Childcare Assistance program, a contract will be emailed to the student that needs to be signed by the parent/legal guardian and a representative of the facility. Once this is done, it must returned back to the Success Programs Specialist scanned through email or by bringing it physically in person.
 
The contract will then be sent by the Success Programs Specialist to be signed by the Business Office. Once this is done, an award letter will be sent to the student and the chosen childcare facility. At the end of every month, a timesheet will be sent to the facility to confirm the student's child's attendance for that month. Once that is given, funding will be sent directly to the facility.
