Since 2002 The Oregon Community Foundation has enabled the Oregon Center for Career Development in Childhood Care and Education at Portland State University to award scholarships for a variety of professional development activities. Using a database that included information on all persons who had been awarded a scholarship between 2002 and 2013 as well as a database containing information on all persons working in regulated child care facilities in 2012, the evaluation examined characteristics of scholarship recipients and modeled which characteristics predicted achievement of professional development.
