ECE Professionals Must Submit T.E.A.C.H. Applications for Summer by April 11

Early childhood education (ECE) professionals interested in attending college for summer semesters should apply to T.E.A.C.H. prior to the April deadline.

Learn More

T.E.A.C.H. applications must be completed and submitted with all required documentation and information by Friday, April 11 to be considered for the summer semesters beginning in May and July.

PACCA will continue to accept applications on an ongoing basis. However, incomplete applications and applications received after the April date will not receive priority for consideration.

New scholarships awards for the summer semester will depend on funding availability. Applications should begin the college admissions process now and contact an ECE advisor at their intended college or university. This helps to ensure that scholarship applicants are admitted and can register for courses if they receive a T.E.A.C.H. scholarship. T.E.A.C.H. can provide contact information for ECE advisors at partnering institutions if needed.

Information on availability and program requirements are available on PACCA’s website, where scholarship applications can also be downloaded. Applicants can contact T.E.A.C.H. counselors on PACCA’s website.

PACCA has also established new partnerships with Alvernia University and Gwynedd Mercy University to offer T.E.A.C.H. bachelor’s degree scholarships.

PACCA will hold its annual ECE Workforce Day on Tuesday, June 10 at the Capitol in Harrisburg. More information will follow as details are available.
