Arizona Teachers Academy
About Arizona Teachers Academy at ASU
The Arizona Teachers Academy award is an opportunity for aspiring educators to receive financial support while making an impact in Arizona's classrooms. The scholarship program is designed to help students pursue their teaching degrees at Arizona’s public universities, with the added benefit of a rewarding career path.
The ATA award at ASU is specific to Arizona residents and available incoming transfer and graduate students enrolled in teacher certification programs. Programs are offered in a range of in-person and remote formats.
Explore our programs, find your fit and get started on becoming a certified teacher. Award recipients agree to teach in an Arizona public school after graduation for the same number of years equal to the number of years for which they received the award.
Arizona Teachers Academy award for future students
The ATA award covers tuition and program fees for students who complete an initial teacher certification program and fulfill a commitment to teach in an Arizona public school after graduation.
Currently, all ATA funds allocated to ASU are committed to currently enrolled ASU students. Funding will not be available for fall 2024 or spring 2025 to students not already in the ATA program at ASU.
For fall 2025, we expect to receive news on future budgetary allocations from the state of Arizona in late summer, early fall 2025. If additional funds become available for new students entering qualified programs, we will communicate to those eligible.
To be considered for ATA at any time, you must be already enrolled. For more information, please contact our MLFC recruitment team.
