Time to Invest in Your Future

Every day, you make a difference in the lives of young children. Now it's time to make a difference for yourself in your life.

The TEACH Early Childhood® Missouri Scholarship makes it possible to build your early childhood career without taking on the burden of student loan debt. Whether you're just beginning your educational journey or ready to continue working toward a degree, TEACH Missouri helps remove financial barriers so you can focus on learning, growing, and achieving your goals.

Investing in your education is one of the best choices you can make. Not only for your career but for the children and families you serve every day. Research consistently shows that educators who continue their education strengthen the quality of early learning experiences they deliver that create lasting benefits for children. At the same time, you'll gain new knowledge, build confidence, and open the door to future career opportunities.

So ask yourself: What do you have to lose? The opportunity is here, and you are worth it.
