Backpacks are packed, classrooms are getting ready, and students everywhere are heading back to school. But while you’re helping children get ready for a new school year, have you thought about *your own next step?* Maybe it’s time for you to go back to school, too. Going back to school doesn’t have to mean taking on a full course load or putting your career on hold. *It can start with just a few college credits.* Those credits can help you build new skills, move your career to the next level, and take another step toward your long-term goals in early childhood education. And you don’t have to do it alone or take on a mountain of debt. TEACH Early Childhood® Missouri Scholarships can help make your educational goals possible without the burden of student debt. TEACH Missouri is designed to help early childhood educators continue their education and invest in their careers while receiving financial support along the way. Whether you’re thinking about earning a few college credits, working toward a degree, or simply taking that first step toward something bigger, *now is the time to start.* You spend your days investing in children and helping them grow. Why not invest in yourself, too? This school year, make yourself part of the back-to-school story. Explore what’s possible with TEACH Missouri and take the next step toward the career you want without taking on debt.
