As part of the University of New Hampshire’s support for the professional development of New Hampshire educators, the College of Professional Studies will continue to offer the Early Childhood Tuition Assistance, funded by the NH Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Child Development and Head Start Collaboration. The grant offers eligible New Hampshire educators the opportunity to take one online education class tuition-free each term at the UNH College of Professional Studies.
“Quality childcare and early childhood education play crucial roles in supporting New Hampshire families,” says Nicole Fragala, administrator of the ECTA grant. “By offering tuition assistance, UNH is helping to ensure that providers are professionally prepared, which helps promote not only their own career development but the stability of our workforce.”
The UNH College of Professional Studies Center for Educator Preparation offers a number of online degree and teacher certification programs, amplified by experienced, dedicated faculty and personalized advisor support. Degree programs include areas such as Early Childhood Special Education, English Language Arts, Math Studies, and Social Studies.
With the ECTA program, UNH CPS aims to reduce barriers for prospective and current teachers to enter and/or remain in the field. Details and application information are available at https://cps-info.unh.edu/ecta.
