MANSFIELD, PA— Through a recent partnership with the Pennsylvania Child Care Association (PACCA), 
Mansfield University is now participating in the T.E.A.C.H. (Teacher Education And Compensation Helps) Early Childhood® PENNSYLVANIA Scholarship Program.
Administered by PACCA, the T.E.A.C.H. Scholarship Program helps child care professionals complete coursework toward a degree or credential in early childhood education at a participating university.
By agreement with Mansfield University, PACCA will pay 100% of the tuition and selected fees for approved scholarship recipients taking up to, and including, six credits per semester. The credits must be applicable to a bachelor’s degree and/or teacher certification in Early Childhood Education, Grades PreK-4.
