ECE Educational Support Grants
The Child Development Training Consortium offers Educational Support Grants to qualifying students at participating colleges. Students who pass their courses in the semesters they are approved for the grant will receive payment at the end of the semester- reimbursement rates usually range from $20-$40 per unit. Palomar College’s Child Development Department participates in this program in the Fall and Spring semesters each year.

Educational Support Grant Priorities:
- Students who are employed in the childcare/early childhood education field in California and are taking classes toward their permit, certificate, or degree
- Students who are not working in the childcare/early childhood education field but are enrolled in CHDV 201 or 201A (Practicum) – OR
