To take advantage of the NBCT or new kindergarten teacher partial scholarship registration fee (available to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-year kindergarten teachers) for Nellie Edge Seminars, just write “NBCT” or “New Kindergarten Teacher Scholarship” on your registration form and send in $129.00 (instead of $195.00) for each seminar.

Scholarship registration must be pre-paid.  They are not available on purchase order. We generally save up to 30 partial scholarship spaces for our major seminars.  These are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so send your registration in as soon as possible.  These scholarships are also available for kindergarten instructional assistants who we believe should also receive the same excellent kindergarten training that certified teachers receive.
