The County of Middlesex has partnered with London’s Fanshawe College to award 10 Early Childhood educator students with a bursary to cover tuition and books.
Joe Winser, the Middlesex County Director of Social Services says the funding comes from the Child Care and Early Years Workforce funding from the Ministry of Education, and it’s to grow the number of staff to provide quality education.
This bursary is open to any first-year Fanshawe Students going into their E-C-E program and the dead lie to apply is this Friday.
Winser says this was an easy decision for Middlesex County and Fanshawe College.
The criteria is for a student who, at the time of selection:
– Demonstrates Financial need as determined by a budget submission
– Is a full-time domestic student entering their first year of Fanshawe College’s
Early Childhood Education diploma program.
– Is in good academic standing
– Students have self-identified as having a Middlesex County home address on their application.
If funding is still available, students will have the opportunity to apply in January of 2023 and even September 2023.
