Great news! Arizona Teachers Academy (ATA) will be accepting new members for summer 2024. This presents an amazing opportunity for students to pursue their teaching dreams while having their tuition and mandatory fees covered. With the ATA, students enjoy a range of benefits, including:
Coverage of remaining tuition and mandatory fees
Coverage of licensure exams and certification fees
An entire year of first-year teacher support from the Arizona K-12 Center Induction Program
To enjoy these advantages, ATA graduates make a commitment to teach for one year at an Arizona public school for each year or portion of a year they participate in the program. In the event that an ATA graduate does not end up teaching in an Arizona public school, the scholarship is converted into an interest-free loan. So really, there are no downsides to this arrangement!
