On Dec. 1, Johns Hopkins University began offering financial assistance for child care costs to doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows and trainees. The program offers up to $5,000 per year to cover the cost of licensed dependent care to those with a child under the age of 6 and a net taxable income of less than $50,000 per family.
Those individuals also have access to a local child care referral service and to Care.com, which helps secure other caregiving services for hire.
Details are available on the Work, Life and Engagement website .
