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

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.
