TEACH Missouri - Financial Support With Confidence

Written by Child Care Aware® of Missouri | Apr 20, 2026 2:48:45 AM

The TEACH Missouri Scholarship is here to help you realize your educational dreams and advance your career without taking on student debt.

“It has been a privilege to receive funding from the TEACH Missouri Scholarship. This support has enabled me to further my professional development and achieve several important career milestones. As a result of the opportunities made possible through this program, I was able to obtain a higher-paying position at the same center where I am currently employed. Additionally, the financial assistance provided by TEACH Missouri has helped cover the cost of essential school materials, allowing me to focus more fully on my academic and professional growth.

The knowledge and skills I have gained through my coursework have strengthened my ability to effectively evaluate student progress and provide instruction that meets individual learning needs. I have also developed stronger professional communication skills, enabling me to discuss student concerns and potential solutions with parents in a clear and constructive manner. In my new role, I also provide support to fellow teachers by helping ensure that high-quality instructional practices are being implemented within the classroom. Thank you TEACH Missouri for supporting me.”

K. Porter, Director, Jackson County
