Family resources
Being a parent or spouse is exciting and challenging, and
grad school can make both roles even more challenging—for students and their
families. We’ve gathered some resources to help you in the transition into grad life.
Housing
There are a number of housing opportunities — some catered to married couples or students with children—available on and
off-campus.
Childcare
Flagstaff childcare options
Here is a limited list of childcare options available in Flagstaff. Please note that the Graduate College does not
endorse or recommend any of these organizations. They are included here for
your reference only.
Childcare vouchers
Raising a family while in graduate school is tough. Let the
university’s childcare voucher program assist you with affordable,
quality child care. The program works on a sliding scale, paying 20 to 50
percent of your child care expenses while you pay the rest.
