Is college in your future? Earn your degree for a fraction of the cost with T.E.A.C.H scholarships!

(September 2008) T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® OHIO provides scholarships to teachers and family child care providers to earn degrees and credentials in Early Childhood Education. T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® Project, in 22 states, is designed to address three of the major issues in the field: education, compensation and turnover. T.E.A.C.H. has four components to the program: scholarship, education, compensation and commitment.

• Scholarship - Assistance is provided with the cost of tuition, books, and related educational expenses.
• Education - The T.E.A.C.H. scholar pursues an associate's degree in ECE or the Child Development Associate Credential (CDA).
• Compensation - As a reward for completing the scholarship, a raise or bonus is awarded.
• Commitment - In appreciation, the T.E.A.C.H. scholar agrees to remain in the position for a year.
  
  The Ohio Child Care Resource and Referral Association (OCCRRA) administers the scholarship program for Ohio. For T.E.A.C.H. scholarship information and application in Ohio, visit teach.occrra.org today!
