Thank you for your patience as we retooled and updated the security of our online application. It is now ready for use and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, if you have all materials ready. The application link is below.
The application process is simple:
1. Create a New User Account: If you are a returning fellow, you do not need to create a new user account, just use the same email you used throughout the year and enter your password. If you are having trouble logging in as a returning member, you can click the "Forgot Password" link and a temporary password will be sent to you. If this is your first time applying to TEAMS/AmeriCorps, you'll need to create an account to begin the application. Be sure to choose a password that is at least 8 characters and contains both letters and numbers.
2. Complete the 6 sections of the application, which save automatically as you move from step to step. As you complete each section of the application, you will see check marks appear in your Application Checklist, when you provide personal and academic information and submit required documents.
3. You can begin your application and return to it at any time. Once you have completed all sections and uploaded all required materials, you will receive an application submission verification email. You will not be able to modify it once it has been submitted and you will be notified of your application status, including problems and decisions, via email.
We have been testing this application for the past two months and we hope we discovered all the bugs and abnormalities, however, if you experience any issues, please email us ASAP and we can work to fix them. We appreciate your patience.
If you meet the eligibility requirements, we invite you to submit an application for the TEAMS Program. Selection is competitive, based on your application, your resume, and your statement of purpose.
The PRIORITY DEADLINE is April 30th, 2010 for decisions by May 15th, 2010.
The GENERAL APPLICATION deadline has been extended to August 31, 2010 for the 2010-11 academic year, unless otherwise extended.
