Nebraska CDA Scholarship Project

Nebraska CDA Scholarship Project: Help with Credential Fees

Nebraska early childhood professionals working toward a CDA may qualify for help with the credentialing fee through the Nebraska Department of Education.

What does the scholarship pay for?

The project can assist with an initial CDA application, a renewal, or up to one qualifying retake of the initial assessment. Funds are limited and distributed as available. The scholarship does not promise payment for the 120 hours of training or a CDA application packet.

Who may qualify and how do you apply?

Applicants work in a Nebraska early childhood program and complete the Council's required CDA documentation. Submit the state scholarship application; if approved, follow the voucher instructions for payment to the Council.
