"At Harvard Law School, we look for passion, energy, and social awareness and we've found these qualities consistently in Teach For America alumni. They share our commitment to law as public service. We're confident that they'll use the resources and opportunities available here to go out and change the world."

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.
