Some colleges have laid off staff members and cut back services after the Trump administration halted funding for programs that help students from migrant families attend and succeed in college.
The College Assistance Migrant Program, also known as CAMP, has served about 2,400 students annually at colleges and universities since its creation in 1972.
Focusing on first-year students, with continued support through their college years, CAMP provides students with internship resources, mental health counseling, tutoring and financial aid.
The 21 students in the program remain on campus, but the support they get from the CAMP program has been canceled.
“We’re still here, able to respond to questions,” she says, but CAMP students have been referred to a different campus office that provides coaching and academic support for students.
