Step 1: Matriculate in the associate degree program in early education and care or a related field at Bunker Hill Community College.  You must apply for admission and be accepted to the college.   A matriculated student has been accepted for admission to the college, has registered and is pursuing courses toward a degree.

1. Complete an application for admission form and submit it to the Admissions & Transfer Office along with a copy of your high school diploma, transcript if a graduation date is recorded on it or GED.
   
   
2. Original documents may be requested. If documents are not in English, an official translation must be attached.

This is a requirement of the scholarship and your application cannot be processed without receipt of your FAFSA.

Step 4: Complete the online ECE Scholarship application annually.
