If you work in a participating QUALITYstarsNY program, QUALITYstarsNY may cover your early childhood education teacher exam fees, but not through the QUALITYstarsNY Academic Scholarship. You must apply separately using the workforce scholarship application. Applications will continue to be reviewed on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted. Exam fees for subjects outside early childhood education (such as School Building Leadership or all grades literacy) are not covered.
