Nanny and sitter scholarships
The Nanny Institute is proud to offer a limited number of scholarships each year. Current scholarships provide financial support to students who are eligible for the Basic and Intermediate Child Care programs.
Scholarships are available through financial gifts provided by childcare businesses, nanny agencies, and individuals who support child care training. We do not currently have a scholarship for the Newborn and Infant program. If you are interested in gifting a scholarship, please contact us.
