Early Childhood Educator Scholarship Program
The ECE Scholarship Program was established to increase the quality of the early education and care workforce. The scholarship program provides financial assistance to early education and care and out-of-school time educators working in a paid position in EEC-licensed or licensed-exempt programs who are pursuing associate's or bachelor's degrees in early childhood education at a Massachusetts college or university.
The ECE Scholarship is available annually and is a joint initiative with EEC and the Department of Higher Education Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA). This year the ECE Scholarship Program launched on April 1, 2016.
