Build, Learn Grow Scholarship

Families with at least one parent employed in an essential industry may apply for the Build, Learn and Grow scholarship program, which covers a portion of before or after school care or early childhood education. Essential industry jobs include those in health care, human services, retail, restaurant and food service, essential infrastructure, media, manufacturing and logistics, religious and charitable organizations.

The scholarships cover up to 80% of costs for early care and education, summer learning or before and after school care. The amount provided from the scholarship is based on the family’s income. Currently, more than 40,000 scholarships are available for children from birth through age 12. 

Scholarship applications should be submitted to early child care or education providers. Families without children currently in child care can find participating providers and programs on the Build, Learn, Grow website. Child care providers who accept federal child care assistance are encouraged to enroll in the program.
