Since 2022, the QUALITYstarsNY Scholarship has helped teachers and program leaders participating in QUALITYstarsNY advance their education and deepen their qualifications as professionals. Our colleagues at the Early Childhood Career Development Center, with the help of the investment of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), have proudly distributed more than 4,500 QUALITYstarsNY scholarships.

With the conclusion of the ARPA investment that made the QUALITYstarsNY Scholarship possible, QUALITYstarsNY and the Career Development Center have been working to determine the best way to support our scholarship applicants in an equitable way. We’re pleased to announce the launch of the QUALITYstarsNY Academic Scholarship next month and to tell you about some important updates and changes to the scholarship application process.
