Early Childhood Scholarship

It's a great time to join — or re-join — the Early Childhood Education workforce! KCC is an approved provider for the Early Childhood Access Consortium for Equity (ECACE) Scholarship Program. This scholarship is offered to increase the number of highly qualified early childhood workers, and covers tuition and other expenses for those who qualify. In Fall 2023, 56 KCC students received a total of more than $150,000 in tuition and other assistance for the early childhood program. These scholarships do not have to be repaid.

You'll learn from teachers who have firsthand experience as early childhood educators. Continue your journey at KCC and soon you'll be in the career you were meant to have! Career paths can include pre-school teacher, infant toddler teacher, director of childcare program or home daycare provider.
