Scholarship Description
This program, as part of Florida States Teacher Education and Compensation Helps (TEACH) Program, works to link training, compensation, and commitment to improving the quality of early childhood care and education experiences for young children and their families by providing scholarships for early childhood caregivers and center directors to work toward earning an AS degree in early childhood education, a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, a Florida state credential, or a director credential. Eligible applicants must be Florida residents who have a high school diploma or GED and who work in a licensed or license-exempt early child care facility, in a licensed or registered family child care home, or in a licenses after-school program. Applicants must also work a minimum of 20 hours per week in a classroom with a birth-through-pre-K population (or in a licensed after-school program), for a minimum of 520 hours per year.
