Financial Assistance
Loans are available to interested and qualified individuals. Contact the Office of Financial Assistance at (512)505-3180 or (512)505-3210 for information. The first step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The FAFSA is used to determine eligibility for most state and federal financial aid programs. Each candidate is encouraged to apply early (by March 15th) to maximize eligibility for financial aid. Prospective candidates must be accepted into HT ATCP before financial aid can be finalized. However, candidates should not wait for formal acceptance before applying for financial aid. The Stafford Loan Program and the TEACH Grant have forgiveness provisions for candidates who teach at least five years in low-income schools and specified subject areas after completing the program. Some restrictions apply. The State of Texas has its own loan forgiveness for teachers. Go to http://www.tea.state.tx.us/loan.aspx for details.
Ask your financial advisor about the TEACH Grant
Scholarship money may be available for participants who do not qualify for financial aid. Proof of ineligibility for financial aid is required.
