Top-ranked graduate schools actively seek Teach For America alumni. They recognize that corps members have gone through a highly-selective process and value the rich perspective and insight that come 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.

* The specifics of each school's deferral policy vary. For details, please contact the admissions office at the school in which you are interested.
