Arizona Teachers Academy
Application
Currently, only our participating undergraduate programs require an ATA application. See below for details, as well as information on how to receive ATA funding for one of our participating graduate (master’s) programs.
Additionally, please take note of the following:
- Prior to receiving your ATA funding, your Free Application for Student (FAFSA) must be successfully processed by both the U.S. Department of Education and the university’s Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA) each year you anticipate receiving ATA funding. Otherwise, there will be delays in disbursing the award to your account.
- If submitting an application, applicants forfeit their scholarship eligibility if they knowingly provide any false or misleading information.
- Application responses cannot be saved and then submitted at a later date.
**Update as of August 1, 2024 — Funding will not be available in either Fall 2024 or Spring 2025 to students not already in the ATA at the University of Arizona.
