What kind of courses can my staff take with a TEACH scholarship?

Under the Early Childhood Teacher Credential Model and the Director Qualification Model, recipients can only take ECE courses. If the recipient is working toward an associate or bachelor’s degree and are awarded under those specific models, they may take any coursework required to earn their degree. If a recipient is working toward and associate degree, they will need to apply through FAFSA and be working toward an AA or AAS Degree in Early Childhood.

Please keep in mind the AAS does not transfer to a four-year college if the recipient is interested in continuing on to their bachelor’s degree in the future. If the recipient is working toward a bachelor’s degree, they will need to provide proof of the completion of 60 college level courses, apply through FAFSA, and be working on a degree that has an emphasis in ECE.
