TNTP AmeriCorps Program Established in 2007, the TNTP AmeriCorps Program helps Fellows broaden their impact within their schools and communities. Teaching Fellows who enroll in AmeriCorps complete their service as AmeriCorps members by teaching the students who need them most in high-need subjects and schools.  

Eligibility

• Be currently enrolled as a TNTP Teaching Fellow.  
• Be a U.S. citizen, national, or lawful permanent resident.  
• Receive a state, FBI, and sex offender registry criminal history check. Results must clear you of being convicted of murder or an offense that would place you on the National Sex Offender registry.  
• Must not have already received two education awards, which is the maximum number of awards that can be earned through any AmeriCorps eligible program(s).  

AmeriCorps Service Benefits 

• Service - The TNTP AmeriCorps Program provides Fellows with training and resources for service learning and volunteer recruitment.  
• Segal Education Award - As a Fellow enrolled in AmeriCorps through the TNTP AmeriCorps Program, you will be eligible to receive a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award after successful completion of your first year of teaching. The education award can be used towards any type of classes at qualified educational institutions or to repay qualified federal student loans. (Note: The Education Award cannot be used to pay for TNTP Academy expenses.) The estimated value of the award for the 2025-2026 service year is $7,395 (this amount is determined by the federal budget and is subject to change).  
• Loan Forbearance: You may also put pause payments on qualified federal student loans (loan forbearance) while serving in AmeriCorps.  Once you successfully complete the school year, AmeriCorps will pay any interest you accrued.
