U.S. Department of Education/Tuition assistance
College Assistance Migrant Program
Support in kindNot guaranteedLimited number available
First year of college paid for and supported, for students whose families do migrant or seasonal farm work. Projects can cover tuition and fees, books, room and board, travel and stipends, and provide tutoring, counselling and help getting admitted. It is for the first year only, and it is run by particular colleges rather than applied for centrally.
Set by the college running the project, not by federal law. The regulation lets a project provide stipends, scholarships, travel, work study, books and supplies, tuition and fees, and room and board, alongside tutoring, counselling and health services. Ask the project what theirs covers.

What you need
The official page does not list required documents. Check the official page before you apply, since a provider can ask for paperwork it does not publish.
How to apply
- 1Find a college near you that runs a CAMP projectOnly some colleges have one. The Department of Education keeps the list of current projects, and the project office itself is who decides eligibility and admits you, so contact them rather than the department.
- 2Be ready to show the farm workThe test is 75 days in the last 24 months, by you or an immediate family member. Pay stubs, an employer letter, or records from a migrant education programme all help. Start gathering them before you are asked.
