THE ILLINOIS STUDENT ASSISTANCE COMMISSION IS NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS. 

THE EARLY CHILDHOOD ACCESS CONSORTIUM FOR EQUITY, OR “E-CACE” SCHOLARSHIP AIMS TO STRENGTHEN THE WORKFORCE OF TEACHERS FOR THE STATE’S YOUNGEST STUDENTS. PREVIOUSLY, ONLY COLLEGE JUNIORS COULD APPLY, BUT I-SAC’S LYNNE BAKER SAYS THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDED.

BAKER SAYS THE SCHOLARSHIP CAN COVER AS MUCH AS THE TOTAL COST OF ATTENDANCE AT A PARTICIPATING COLLEGE. 

APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR ARE DUE BY AUGUST SEVENTH. ALL OF THE DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE AT: ISAC DOT ORG.
