Arizona Teachers Academy
The Arizona Teachers Academy (ATA) is a program to help pay for tuition and fees for those students in a state university or community college Educator Preparation Program (EPP). The scholarship covers tuition and mandatory fees after a student has accepted all other non-loan aid such as institutional scholarships, federal Pell grants, and other private scholarships. To receive the ATA scholarship, you must commit to one year of teaching in an Arizona public school for each year you receive the scholarship.
