What documents must be uploaded with my CDA Training Scholarships application?

The following documents must be uploaded with your application:

  • Copies of two recent paystubs reflecting the name of your employer, your name, and gross and net year-to-date wages. If you are a Family Child Care Learning Home or a Director/Owner and do not pay yourself W-2 wages, you should submit a copy of last year’s Schedule C, Schedule K, or other federal tax form documenting net business income.  If your paystubs do not meet these requirements, we may ask for additional information.
  • Invoice from CDA trainer outlining the cost of CDA training, name of applicant, and who is to be paid (applicant, business, or trainer). Have the trainer sign and date the invoice if possible.

  • Copy of the FRONT and BACK of a secure and verifiable document.

  • Copy of your Georgia Professional Development System profile reflecting your GaPDS number, the name of your current employer, and a “Pending” or “Active” status (click here for more information).
  • Copy of CDA Competency Standards Book receipt from within 6 months of book purchase date (must be purchased from the CDA Council) (Upload during the “Documents” section of your application as an “Additional Document”)
