Congratulations to the PACE-i Scholars!

Welcome, 2026-2028 PACE-i Scholars!

We're excited to introduce our newest cohort of PACE-i Scholars as they begin a journey dedicated to leadership, service, and excellence in early intervention.

Through innovative learning experiences, meaningful clinical partnerships, and a commitment to serving children and families in underserved communities, these scholars are preparing to become practice-ready, evidence-informed professionals who will make a lasting impact.

As a part of the PACE-i program, our scholars are building a future where every child has access to high-quality early intervention services, regardless of geography, language, ability, or background.

Congratulations, scholars! We can't wait to see the difference you'll make.
