Child Development Training Consortium

The Child Development Training Consortium (CDTC) provides financial support and resources to California community colleges to assist students currently working in group programs in the early childhood field to meet the educational requirements of Child Development Permits.  Click here for information regarding Child Development Permits. Scholarships are funded during Fall and Spring semester but also cover Intersession and Summer courses.

Students who meet the following criteria are eligible to apply for financial support from the CDTC Scholarship program:

  1. At the time of enrollment, students must be employed (full or part time – not as a substitute or volunteer) by a licensed child care/development program, including infants, toddlers, young children, family child care and/or working with kindergarten children in the classroom or school care program – licensed or exempt.  Unlicensed religious programs do not qualify.
  2. Students must work directly with children in a group program.
  3. Students must be currently enrolled in Child Development classes and/or general education classes at Rio Hondo College to apply for funding.  All courses qualify except Physical Education and remedial courses.  Courses must be completed with a grade of at least a “C” in order to receive scholarship funding.

Scholarships awards are not loans, but money to help students continue in their education and to support eligible students to apply for their Child Development Permits. Students on financial aid and students whose employer pays for their educational costs are also eligible.
