LLC Early Childhood Ed Scholarships Available

The Lake Land College Early Childhood Education program will offer Early Childhood Access Consortium for Equity (ECACE) scholarship opportunities for individuals who are current or previous employees in childcare settings and wish to complete postsecondary education in the field.

These scholarships will cover up to the total cost of attendance after other financial aid is applied, including costs such as tuition and fees, books, supplies, transportation and even childcare.

To learn more about this scholarship eligibility or to apply, visit isac.org/ECACEscholarship. The priority deadline for applications is July 15 for the 2022-23 academic year, and after that applicants will be accepted only on a rolling basis.

The Lake Land College Early Childhood Education program will also provide early childhood students with the opportunity to work in a hands-on childcare setting under the supervision of faculty. This lab opportunity will be made possible thanks to an ECACE grant for more than $696,000 from the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB).

One evening class per week will be held at the Kluthe Center for Higher Education & Technology in Effingham to provide flexibility for students.

This classroom will also feature HyFlex technology, which will allow students to connect from work, home or any location convenient for them while receiving a live educational experience similar to that which they would receive in person.
