The Arizona Teachers Academy scholarship offers tuition coverage for students who agree to teach in Arizona.
TUCSON, Ariz. — If you’re looking to become a teacher in Arizona you could have your tuition covered.
The Arizona Teachers Academy has helped students with this scholarship for five years, and this year was the largest enrollment yet at 3,300 students. Joey Montes is in his final year of his masters degree at the University of Arizona. He's excited to get his own classroom. Fred Duval, the Chair-Elect of the Arizona Board of Regents said, “we lose about 12,000 teachers every single year. So in order to replace that, we’ve gotta get the number up. Our problem is two-fold, one is that there aren’t enough teachers, and two; teachers aren’t staying long enough.”
