You start by saying no to requests. Then if you have to go to yes, OK. But if you start with yes, you can't go to no.

The Pepsi Refresh Project is awarding $250,000 for the top vote getting project among 1,200 contestants. Currently ranked #23 is Teacher Education and Compensation Helps (T.E.A.C.H.) Early Childhood® Project. T.E.A.C.H. provides comprehensive scholarships to early educators in 20 states. Scholarships provide access to higher education for a low-income workforce that cannot afford college. Scholarships enable early childhood teachers to take coursework leading to early childhood credentials and degrees by making it possible for them to afford both the time and expense of going to school. Research shows that young children who are cared for by educated teachers are more likely to graduate high school, pursue secondary education, and contribute to a viable workforce.
If T.E.A.C.H. wins the $250,000 grant from Pepsi, it will provide 325 scholarships for teachers. To cast your vote for T.E.A.C.H, click here.
