2025 ecea teacher scholarships
2025 ecea teacher scholarships
Each year we award two $300 scholarships to teachers of children in preschool and early elementary grades and one $300 scholarship to an early childhood pre-service teacher. The scholarship awards will support educators committed to:
Foregrounding children’s cultural and linguistic backgrounds in curriculum
Embedding language and literacy instruction within an anti-racist and culturally sustaining curriculum
Creating inclusive and diverse spaces for children to investigate their interests and their worlds
Encouraging young children to be critical inquirers and activists for social change
Scholarship awardees will receive a monetary award ($300) to support conference attendance, a one-year membership to the Early Childhood Education Assembly, and the opportunity to write an entry regarding their experiences at the NCTE Day of Early Childhood for the ECEA website and newsletter. The website is a generative medium to spark conversations between early childhood teachers and teacher-educators who share common interests within the ECEA Assembly. Scholarship awards will be made on the Day of Early Childhood at NCTE’s Annual Convention.
