Application Process for Sponsors

This overview describes the process for employers whose staff have applied for a TEACH scholarship.

1. Review the sponsor requirements for the TEACH Scholarship.
Agreeing to sponsor can potentially incur financial obligations for the child care site, so please read carefully.
2. If you don't already have access to the child care program's business account, fill out the online request form. Please allow 2-3 business days for us to review and approve access. Business Accounts are separate from personal accounts. A director can have a personal account, but the Business Account log in is separate.
3. Collect the information you'll need for the application process
• Recent pay stub for applicant scanned into a PDF file; • Applicant's official position title and hours; • The child care program owner's choice about sponsoring TEACH scholarships.
4. Log in to the site's Business Account.
Remember, the Business Account username is the DCF license number or Children's Forum assigned account id.
5. Fill out the sponsor portion of the application.
You are done when the status is either SUBMISSION COMPLETE or PENDING DOCUMENT VERIFICATION.
6. Check your email regularly.
If the application needs an update, we will send you an email. Updates must be submitted promptly or the application will be closed.
7. The scholarship contract will be awarded by email 4-6 weeks from employer accepting and submitting the application.
Contracts must be SIGNED and RETURNED before your scholarship will be active.
