CCSNH Early Childhood Tuition Assistance helps students cover educational costs while completing Early Childhood Education (ECE) certificates and degrees.
To address New Hampshire’s high demand for early childhood educators, CCSNH received funding to support individuals living and working in the state as they pursue ECE programs at any of our seven colleges.
These funds cover tuition, fees, and books for approved courses. Students must apply each term through the online portal (link below), including their signature and, if applicable, their employer’s. Eligible students may receive multiple course awards per term. Applications are reviewed in the order received, and awards are granted as long as funds are available.
