ECiPC-E and Holmes Overview PPT

AACTE is partnering with the Early Childhood Intervention Personnel Center on Equity (ECIPC-E), to recruit into the Holmes Scholar Program.

More early childhood leaders and practitioners with the requisite skills and knowledge are required to meet the needs of children aged birth – 5 years old.  As a 5-year sub-awardee, AACTE will be directly addressing this issue, in part, by providing targeted mentorship, professional development, and financial support to doctoral students of color pursuing a Ph.D. or an Ed.D. in early childhood and early childhood special education. AACTE will recruit a cohort of twelve Holmes Scholars pursuing doctorates in early childhood and early childhood special education. If you are an active Holmes Scholar in a special education and/or early childhood education program, this cohort might be right for you!

We encourage you to review FAQ ECI Holmes Scholars Application Cohort 2 before completing the Application for Holmes Scholars.
