AFSCME CCPT negotiated half a million dollars ($700,000) for training scholarships for Licensed Family Child Care Providers in our most recent contract.

You can use the links on this page to access more information and to apply. 

This scholarship program is for ALL family child care providers whose names are on their family child care licenses. It can't be used by staff :( at this time. And it is not available to exempt providers (those who are NOT licensed) nor is it able to be used by centers.

This money is available until it runs out (and we negotiate additional funds). It is also available on a first-come-first-awarded basis until it runs out, meaning that some providers may not get funds (if they wait too long).
