TEACH Early Childhood Colorado Scholarship

Description

The TEACH Early Childhood Colorado Scholarship is open to Center Program Staff and Family Child Care Home Providers (students working in licensed care settings) and Early Childhood Professionals that serve ECE in a role outside of a licensed care setting (“Early Childhood Community Specialists”) in Colorado. This program provides financial aid for coursework toward early childhood credentials, associate, and bachelor’s degrees. TEACH covers 90 percent of tuition and book costs for Center Staff and 95 percent for Family Child Care Home (FCCH) Providers. Early Childhood Community Specialists receive a stipend per course, which varies based on the credential or degree type. In addition to tuition support, TEACH provides a semester stipend and a bonus for successful coursework completion. In return, scholars commit to continued employment in the field, ensuring lasting benefits for both educators and young children.
