Students! ECEBC is pleased to announce that the Ministry of Children and Family Development has provided one-time funding for a student bursary program to be implemented in September 2014. ECE Bursary The Early Childhood Educators of BC has received funding from the Ministry of Children and Family Development to establish a bursary fund for students enrolled in early childhood educational programs. To respond to identified needs, priority will be given to: • Aboriginal students; • Students attending early childhood educational programs with an Aboriginal focus; and, • Students working to achieve an infant/toddler educator designation. Students will be able to apply for up to $300 per course, to a maximum of $1,500 per semester. UPDATE Since the funding announcement ECEBC, in direct collaboration with our coalition partner, the BC Aboriginal Child Care Society, has developed strategies to ensure the information is accessible and will distributed to all of our contacts. We are extremely grateful for BCACCS’ knowledge and expertise as both organizations see this as an opportunity to support the ECE sector and improve quality in Early Childhood Education. The bursary program will be implemented for the Fall 2014 semester. Eligible applicants must be enrolled at an approved educational institution in an ECE program, with priority given to Aboriginal students, or students enrolled in ECE programs with an Aboriginal focus or working to achieve an infant/toddler educator designation. To determine if the post-secondary institution you are or will be attending is an approved educational institution, please view the Ministry of Children and Family Development’s list at: mcf.gov.bc.ca/childcare/ece/pdfs/training_institutes.pdf • To download the Fall 2014 bursary application, please go to: ecebc.ca/programs/files/ecebc_student_bursary_application.pdf. • To download ECEBC’s ECE student bursary policy, please go to: ecebc.ca/programs/files/ecebc_student_bursary_policy.pdf.
