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.

Students pursuing a career in early childhood or child development, MAY be eligible to apply for the ECE Educational Support Grant for Fall 23 GE & CHDV courses.

Educational Support Grant Priorities: 

1. Students who are employed in the childcare/early childhood education field in California and taking classes toward their permit, certificate, or degree
2. Students who are not working in the childcare/early childhood education field but are enrolled in CHDV 201 of 201A (Practicum)
   OR
   Students who are not working in the childcare/early childhood education field but are enrolled in two of the core CHDV courses (CHDV 100, 115, 105, 106, 182, 184, 185).

Please include all classes you are enrolled in for the Fall 2023 semester at Palomar, both CHDV and general education courses.
