A third round of 2008-09 Minority Teachers of Illinois (MTI) Scholarship Program awarding took place on January 5, 2009. You will be notified if future rounds of awarding take place for either of the Teacher Education Scholarship Programs (TESP).* Be sure to continue completing and submitting Initial Certifications throughout the year, in order to ensure that your students will be included in any subsequent rounds of awarding that might be scheduled.
Award notifications have been mailed to eligible students and new eligible award information, including funded or unfunded status, is available to colleges online at My Zone. Award announcement categories for eligible students in this round of awarding include:
- Eligible - Funded - students who are eligible for an award; and
- Eligible - Unavailable Funds - students who are eligible for the award, but for whom funds are not available.
* TESP includes the Illinois Future Teacher Corps (IFTC) and MTI Scholarship programs.
Accessing Award Information at My Zone
Now that TESP awards have been made on multiple dates [08/13/2008 and 08/27/2008 (IFTC and MTI Scholarship) and 01/05/2009 (MTI Scholarship only)], the filter functionality and pre-defined report that sort by "Status Date" (available within the Teacher Education Scholarship Programs (TESP) area at My Zone) may be used to help identify students that have recently been found eligible for an award.
The following resources may be accessed from within the Teacher Education Scholarship Programs (TESP) Notifications area at My Zone. The "Status Date" listed on TESP reports generated via My Zone matches the date on the student's award letter.

Access to My Zone
If your college has not yet signed up to participate in My Zone, which provides online access to student-specific data in a secure environment, access the FAA Zone front page, select the My Zone Quick Link and follow the instructions provided. Or if there's been a change in staff needing to access TESP, the My Zone Administrator for your campus should update access to TESP so staff will be able to view eligible student award notification data online.
