T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® (Teacher Education and Compensation Helps) Wisconsin Scholarship and Bonus Program provides scholarships for early childhood and school age providers to attend technical or private colleges or universities to achieve a higher educational level, by completing a specific educational path.

Each scholarship recipient receives a certain amount of money to help with the costs of college tuition, books and travel. With some scholarship models, recipients also receive paid release time.

Scholarships are based on the principle of partnership between the participant, the sponsoring child care program and the T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® Wisconsin Scholarship Program, all sharing in the cost.
