The TEAMS Fellowship Program, based at the University of San Francisco (USF), has partnerships with USF’s School of Education and several other educational institutions where Fellows can complete their credential programs. Fellows must be enrolled in an accepted program to complete their credential requirement. In addition to USF, higher education institutions with accepted credential programs are Antioch University, Chapman University, California State University, Los Angeles, National University, and San Francisco State University. Paraeducators interested in attaining a teacher credential can also apply to the LAUSD/Career Ladder Program.

AmeriCorps Education Awards are available for all Fellows who meet the program requirements. Additional financial aid opportunities are available for Fellows who participate in the Program at USF.
