Sample Two-year Program Overview

Frequency of courses :

Year 1

  • Online classes about 4 weeknights a month

Summer between Year 1 & Year 2

  • Teachers will have online coursework during the Summer. Dates are not finalized for 2023, but teachers can expect to spend 1-2 weeks in July for their courses

Year 2

  • Continued online courses

Cost

  • $11,500 per year (Pre-AmeriCorps and TFA subsidy)

  • The above cost represents your out-of-pocket yearly tuition pre-AmeriCorps award. After using your AmeriCorps education award, Teach For America will then subsidize the remainder of your tuition so there will be no out-of-pocket cost for you.

Application Process

  • November-January: Read about Relay on the hub, ask the Onboarding team questions.

  • May-June: Apply to Relay and send in all required transcripts. We’re working with Relay to currently develop the application and hope to have that ready soon.

  • June-July: Complete Relay Summer Training Orientation & Coursework (this will be built in to your Summer Training experience).

  • August: Fall semester begins (official first day of Fall classes will be released by Relay during your Orientation at Summer Training).
