Application checklists can help you see program requirements, keep track of your progress and access support and best practices along the way.

How do I order official transcripts? What should I expect in an admissions interview? What test scores do I need? 

We’ve got you covered. Visit our Application Guide for answers to all your application questions.

Most applications will ask you for a personal statement or essay, a resume and at least one recommendation. We’ve got step-by-step advice for each—and templates to help you get started.

Depending on your program, you may need to take a test or two before you apply. We’ve got help for that too! 

Our testing guide has all the info on what to expect, how to prepare and where to find study tools and tricks.

Program applications can require some investment. 

When you apply to one of our partner teaching programs, we’ll reimburse up to $100 for any costs required for you to complete your applications. That includes application fees, testing fees, transcript fees and more!

After you’ve submitted your applications, don’t forget about financial aid! TEACH offers multiple scholarships each year to help future teachers like you pay for your teaching program.
