Don't Wait. Your Future Starts This August.

How much longer are you willing to put your future on hold?

Every day you invest your time, energy, and heart into helping young children learn and grow. Now it's time to invest in yourself. The TEACH Missouri Scholarship gives you the opportunity to advance your education, strengthen your career, and do it without taking on student loan debt.

The longer you wait, the longer you delay the opportunities that come with earning your CDA, college credits or your early childhood college degree. More education means greater knowledge, increased confidence, stronger teaching practices, and new career possibilities, all while making an even greater impact on the children and families you serve.

Applications for the Fall 2026 semester are being accepted now, and classes will begin in August 2026. You choose the Missouri-based college you want to attend. You choose your classes. We help you pay tuition and books. Don't let another semester pass wishing you had started. The best time to begin is today.

Ask yourself: What do you have to lose? An investment in yourself is an investment that pays dividends for years to come. You are worth it.
