Childcare Subsidy Program

The Office of Human Resources, in conjunction with the childcare committee, offers a benefit to SU employees as well as students with children. The goal of the program is to provide a partial cash subsidy for childcare assistance to Seattle University full-time faculty and staff and full-time students to help meet the expenses of pre-first grade childcare. Funds are distributed through an annual lottery system and application forms forms for this are due each year in early fall.
