TEACH Missouri Scholarships make it possible to take the next step in your early childhood career while continuing to work. Whether you want to start with a few college classes, earn your Child Development Associate credential (CDA), or go all the way toward a degree, TEACH Missouri can help you get there debt free.
This isn’t an all-or-nothing commitment. Many educators begin by trying one or two classes to see what fits their schedule and goals. Others use TEACH Missouri to earn credentials that open the door to higher wages, new roles, or even a pathway from child care programs into public school classrooms. Wherever you’re starting, there’s a path forward.
TEACH Missouri covers the majority of tuition and book costs and connects you with a dedicated scholarship counselor who supports you every step of the way, from choosing a program to completing paperwork, helping you stay on track. You’re never doing this alone.
You’ve already done the hard work of showing up for children every day. Let us help you take the next step in your career confidently, affordably, and with support.
Apply today and start building the future you deserve. Visit teach-misssouri.org for more information.
