GNWT opens applications for early learning, childcare scholarships

Applications are now being accepted for NWT students pursuing early learning and childcare studies to pick up territorial scholarships.

The scholarships, issued by the NWT government, are available to part-time and full-time post-secondary students.

Part-time students are eligible for up to $500 per course, with a maximum of $2,500 per school year. Full-time students are eligible for up to $5,000 per school year.

“The scholarship is for NWT students enrolled in a diploma or degree program with a direct focus in early childhood development at accredited post-secondary institutions. In-person or online programs are accepted,” the GNWT stated in a press release this week.

The application deadline is September 30.
