“Having my coursework supported through the TEACH Missouri Scholarship, along with encouragement from my church and guidance from a mentor, made it possible for me to complete my associate degree in early childhood education through Ozark Technical College.

I’m thankful for the investment in my professional growth. Reaching this milestone helped me achieve my educational goals and receive a raise and bonus upon graduation.”

—Jessica Vandyck, Lead Educator and TEACH Missouri Scholarship graduate at Messiah Lighthouse Childhood Development Center in Dade County
