Preparing teachers for Arizona's classrooms
Teaching is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling professions and makes a difference in the lives of children every day.
If you are interested in being a teacher, the Arizona Teachers Academy offers tuition coverage for students who agree to teach in Arizona schools after graduation.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
It’s simple – earn a degree or certification while we cover your tuition. Plus, you’ll have a job waiting when you graduate. This scholarship program is available at Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona, as well as Scottsdale, Rio Salado, Pima Community and Central Arizona Colleges.
