To remain eligible, students must maintain satisfactory academic progress, adhere to the MMC Code of Conduct policy, and be continuously enrolled in the program until completion.

"We're so excited to be able to offer this scholarship for students," said Jennifer Cruz, Program Director for Early Childhood Education at Miller-Motte College. "The education of young children is vital because it is the starting point for life and educational success. Here at Miller-Motte College we are committed to ensuring that all students who choose to pursue a career in Early Childhood Education are provided with a solid educational foundation so they can make the greatest impact in the lives of the children, family, and communities that they serve." Cruz said throughout the program students gain a foundation in special needs, STEM, child development, an understanding of play in the classroom, differing learning styles, and the importance of teaching the whole child. "Upon graduating, our students are set up to get licensed through their state and ready to be an assistant or lead teacher in a childcare center or a para in elementary school," said Cruz. "This is why we are proud to announce a $2500 scholarship to assist students throughout the journey as they work towards making their dream a reality."
