What’s the advantage of applying to at the 1/24 deadline as opposed to the 2/20 deadline?
· Higher chances of being admitted to your top choice region· More access to transitional funding
· More time to prepare for your future students (if you wait until the last deadline, you won’t confirm your offer to TFA until April 1 – that’s just about two months before you would have to leave for your induction!)

change at every level of our education system toward the goal of closing
the opportunity gap in America. These
leaders start their paths as corps members who teach for two years in
urban and rural high-need communities and help students make the
academic progress that expands their opportunities. Deeply affected by
their teaching experience, our alumni continue to advocate for students
and build lasting change in many different roles and fields.
