Partners in Practice was created to help you advance your education-your work-and your professional development - with a program designed for real life.

Partners in Practice is excited to offer tuition based financial support for individuals pursuing certifications or degrees in the field of Early Childhood Education.

Online, weekend and evening classes at Central Oregon Community College are available to support your pursuit to deliver the best for the children you serve.  

When you're working with children, every day counts. Your experience, expertise and prior training are important to us. Together, we'll review your existing credentials, such as your Oregon Registry Step, or Child Development Associate, and discover how your past experiences connect with your future education plan.

This scholarship is for those currently working or preparing to work in an early childhood education setting, with preference given to licensed programs and/or underserved communities.
