The Early Childhood Educators Scholarship Program is a scholarship program that provides financial assistance to early childhood and out-of-school time educators who are seeking to further their education and improve their skills in working with young children.The scholarship is offered by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC), which is a state agency that provides resources and support to early childhood education and care programs.
The scholarship awards up to $4,000 per year, which can be used to cover tuition, fees, books, and other educational expenses. The scholarship is renewable for up to three years, depending on the recipient’s progress in the program and the availability of funds.
The scholarship application period typically opens in the spring and closes in the summer, and specific details can be found on the EEC website.
