Conference Scholarships for Teachers in Training

For the first time, ECC is offering scholarships to our annual conference. This year we are offering three scholarships to teachers currently studying either in: an accredited teacher training programme, or with a tertiary education provider (for the purpose of obtaining a higher degree in the education field, for ECE or primary teaching).

Why should you apply?

The conference is an opportunity to gain invaluable sector insight. You will have access to quality professional development, the opportunity to hear sector leaders discuss topical issues and network with both peers and professionals.
