You will receive your Needs-Based funding during your first two weeks of Pre-Service Training, as long as you have signed your promissory note before you started training. If you sign your promissory note after you start Pre-Service Training, it can take 1-2 weeks after that to receive your funding. If you need part of your financial package before you attend Pre-Service, you can apply for early disbursal. You can contact grantsandloans@teachforamerica.org to find out more.
