You will be issued a no-interest loan through ECSI that will be paid in equal monthly installments beginning October 1, 2014 and ending May 1, 2016 in the amount of $75.

 

Late payments will be assessed a $10 late charge per month. If you fall behind on payments, you will receive an email from the Alternative Certification staff regarding their current payment status. If payments continue to fall behind, the overdue payments will be evenly dispersed throughout the rest of the loan, which will result in higher monthly tuition rate. Once your payment is 60 days past due, nonpayment will be reported by ECSI to the credit agencies.

 

AmeriCorps awards may not be used to cover the cost of tuition as Teach For America is not a Title IV institution. Teachers MUST pay tuition in full before being recommended to the Professional Standards Commission to receive a Georgia professional teaching certificate.
