Top-ranked graduate schools actively seek Teach For America alumni. They recognize that alumni have engaged in a highly selective process and value the rich perspective that comes from teaching in a low-income area. As a result, many graduate schools offer special benefits to corps members and alumni including two-year deferrals, application fee waivers, and scholarships.*
Attend an online event to learn more about our partnerships from graduate school faculty and alumni who have attended graduate school after the corps.
To learn more about partnering with Teach For America, visit our resources for employers and graduate schools page.
*Each school handles partnership details differently. Please contact admissions offices directly to confirm the process for receiving a deferral, fee waiver, and for additional scholarship qualification details.
"At Harvard Law School, we look for passion, energy, and social awareness and we've found these qualities in Teach For America alumni. They share our commitment to law as public service. We're confident they'll use the resources and opportunities here to change the world."
