Scolarships to fund your EC degree!

The Department of Education and Communities has just released a SECOND round of Early Childhood Teaching Scholarships.  As highlighted in the latest ACECQA Newsletter, Early Childhood Teaching Scholarships are on offer to early childhood educators around NSW to upgrade their qualifications and become qualified early childhood teachers.  For many of you in the CareWest SCAN support regions,  eligibility is even higher as the focus is especially on educators working in rural and remote communities where qualified early childhood educators are in short supply.  The scholarships are part of the recently announced strategy Rural and Remote Education: A blueprint for action.  Educators who go for the scholarship must not already have started their early childhood teaching degree.  With the scholarships worth between $7500 and $10,000, it is certainly worth applying.  For more information, please click here.
