TESP Payment Authorization Reports Available at My Zone

As was announced in an October 8th e-Message, TESP Payment Authorization allows colleges to receive payment claim results for the Teacher Education Scholarship Programs (TESP)* in a secure, electronic environment via the My Zone portal.

The first group of TESP Payment Authorization reports are now available for colleges to view, print and/or save via My Zone.

* TESP includes the Illinois Future Teacher Corps (IFTC) and Minority Teachers of Illinois (MTI) Scholarship programs.

Accessing Reports

Colleges utilize the "TESP Payment Authorization" link (located on the TESP Program Selection screen at My Zone) in order to access the payment authorization reports. Reports include data regarding students for whom the college previously submitted payment claims. As a reminder, TESP Payment Authorization reports are generated aftera payment request roster has been submitted and a voucher number and voucher date have been entered into the My Zone system.

It is estimated that payment authorization reports will be available for colleges to access via TESP Payment Authorization approximately 7 to 10 days after the corresponding payment request roster has been submitted to ISAC.

The TESP Payment system (including TESP Payment Request Roster and TESP Payment Authorization functionality) is available each Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. (CT).
