Financial Aid for Early Childhood?

Question

I was working at a daycare until recently. I decided to switch from a secondary ed. major to early childhood. While at the daycare, someone came from a state program offering financial aid to anyone wishing to further their education. I jumped at the opportunity to receive more info, but so far haven't heard anything. This is supposedly separate from the FAFSA and other state aid. It's a program for early childhood majors in Illinois. Does anyone know a website or anything?

The T.E.A.C.H. (Teacher Education and Compensation Helps) Early Childhood® Project gives scholarships to child care workers to complete coursework in early childhood education and to increase their compensation. In 1990, the Child Care Services Association created the project to address the issues of under-education, poor compensation, and high turnover within the early childhood workforce. The project is an umbrella for a variety of different scholarship programs for teachers, directors, and family child care providers working in regulated child care programs in North Carolina and other States across the country. All T.E.A.C.H. scholarships link continuing education with increased compensation and require that recipients and their sponsoring child care programs share in the cost. Additional information about the project is available on the Web at www.childcareservices.org/ps/teach.html.
