Teach for America and Teach for China
Tulane Law School is pleased to partner with Teach for America and Teach for China in the following ways:
(1) Waiver of Application Fee for Current Corps Members - The Law School will grant a waiver of the application fee to any current corps member of Teach for America or Teach for China. Corps members should contact the Office of Admission at admissions@law.tulane.edu and provide proof of status with Teach for America or Teach for China. The Office of Admission will provide a fee waiver code that can be used when applying on-line.
(2) Two-Year Deferral - Upon request from new Teach for America or Teach for China corps members, the Law School will offer a two-year deferral to enable admitted students to begin a two-year commitment to Teach for America or Teach for China in the year in which law study was to have commenced. The Law School will also grant a two-year deferral to exiting corps members who wish to pursue other endeavors before attending law school, provided they apply for the deferral while they are still corps members.
(3) Scholarship - Tulane Law School will award a scholarship to each Teach for America or Teach for China alumnus accepted into the Law School. One sixth of the award will be credited to the student's tuition bill at the beginning of each of the six semesters of enrollment at Tulane Law School, so long as the student remains in good standing. As is the case for all applicants to Tulane Law School, Teach for America and Teach for China alumni will receive full consideration for all other merit-based scholarships available.
