Early Childhood Educator Bursary Program │ Government of Alberta

January 1, 1900

Value

Qualified recipients will receive $10,000 to cover tuition, textbooks and living expenses.

Description

The Early Childhood Educator Bursary will help cover post-secondary costs for up to 300 aspiring and advancing early childhood educators in Alberta over a three-year period.

Alberta’s government is investing more than $3.3 million from the Canada-Alberta Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement to make it easier to study close to home.

Eligible Applicants

Aspiring or advancing early childhood educators who have been accepted into an approved early learning and child care (ELCC) certificate program.

NorQuest College is now accepting applications.

Eligible Expenses

Each successful recipient will receive $10,000 disbursed in two installments:

  • $5,000 after application approval and signing a return of services agreement; and
  • $5,000 upon completing the ELCC certificate at an approved Alberta ELCC certification program.

Recipients must repay the bursary if they fail to:

  • complete an approved ELCC certificate within 18 months;
  • begin work as a Level 2 ECE within three months of graduation or complete 2,000 hours of work within two years.

Deadline Date

The Early Childhood Educator Bursary Program accepts applications for students whose approved ELCC certificate program starts between July 15, 2025, and January 15, 2028. There are no specific application deadlines mentioned; applications appear to be accepted on a rolling basis for programs within this timeframe. Please visit the official Alberta.ca website for the most current information.
