“It is hard to be able to go to class Monday through Friday at these certain times because then I would not have any income,韦尔奇说.

的奖学金
bbin信誉网站 is participating in a new scholarship from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission. The Early Childhood Access Consortium for Equity Scholarship Program was created to address the shortage of qualified early childhood professionals in the state of Illinois.
学生 who work or have worked in early childhood education and are seeking additional credentials and/or a degree in early childhood education may be eligible for the scholarship.
The scholarship will cover the applicant’s total cost of attendance for an academic year after another financial aid is received. Recipients of the scholarship are expected to continue or return to teaching or direct services in the early childhood care and education field in Illinois after they complete their program of study.
