tuition subsidies financial

Tuition subsidies are financial support that lowers the cost of education by paying all or part of tuition fees on behalf of students, typically provided by governments, employers, or schools. For investors, they matter because they change who pays for training and education, affecting demand for colleges, corporate payroll costs, employee retention and future workforce skills—think of it like an employer covering part of an employee’s commute to make the job more attractive.

Champ Camps offer reliable summer programs with fun and engaging activities for school-age children, conveniently located in neighborhood schools nationwide

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- For students summer seems far away. For their parents, however, it’s never too soon to start planning and preparing for all of those weeks of out-of-school time. Due to increasing demand for early enrollment in summer programs, Champions, a leading provider of before- and after-school programs nationwide, today opened enrollment for its 2026 Champ Camp summer camps.

In more than 420 locations nationwide this summer, Champ Camps will offer fun and engaging activities designed to build on the skills children learned during the school year while still giving children plenty of time and space to have fun with their friends during the summer. Champ Camps allow five- to 12-year-olds to use their natural creativity and curiosity to explore topics like science, nature, and art indoors and outside.

The camps, conveniently located at elementary and middle schools nationwide, have flexible schedules to support families who need part-time programs as well as full-time programs. Champions also works with a variety of state and federal agencies to help families access tuition subsidies for Champ Camps.

In addition, Champions today announced registration for Champ Camp Great Outdoors, a special version of Champ Camp centered on the outdoors and featuring classic summer camp experiences complete with singalongs, camp chants and special camp ceremonies. Children will have the opportunity to hike, swim, make art projects, work on team challenges, and learn about nature in 29 locations nationwide.

“Knowing your child is in a safe place where they’re with friends and learning, especially when school lets out for the summer, allows parents to focus on their work, without needing to worry about their child’s well-being,” said Dan Figurski, president of Champions. “We want to help reduce stress on families by giving them plenty of time to find a reliable, flexible summer program that’s the best fit for their children.”

Families can sign up their school-age children for Champ Camps online.
