What are Preschool Scholarships

     As part of Early Childhood Iowa’s mission to ensure that children entering Kindergarten are school-ready, our area offers Preschool Scholarships to eligible families in Cerro Gordo, Hancock and Worth Counties. These scholarships are available to families with children ages 3-5.  


      Preschool Scholarships are monetary scholarships that provide financial assistance to families that qualify through a simple application process. Preschool assistance is available for up to $165 for 0% to 100% of poverty and $145 for 100% to 200% of poverty per month per child attending preschool. 


Families are responsible for any monthly preschool cost exceeding the $165/$145 per month.  Payment will be made directly to your preschool provider. You are responsible for any remaining amount due.  A licensed preschool provider that has an IQ4K Level 1 or higher rating or QPPS must be used to be eligible for the scholarship.


    Please note:  you must meet the following criteria to be eligible 

for Preschool assistance:  

  • Be a resident of Cerro Gordo, Hancock or Worth Counties
  • Not be receiving preschool assistance from any other source
  • Have income level below 200% of poverty (see chart below)
  • use a licensed or registered preschool
  • Be paying preschool cost separate from childcare (childcare including preschool is not eligible)
