When the “TESP Notifications” screen is first accessed, the “View” defaults to the Eligible-Funded category of your school’s applicants. The data is automatically sorted by program type (IFTC and/or MTI) and then sorted alphabetically by the applicant’s last name within the program type.  From the “TESP Notifications” screen, find the “View” section in the upper half of the left-hand panel.  If you want to view a category other than Eligible-Funded, select one of the following: 

Eligible Award Notification Categories

• Eligible - Funded (default view) - students who are eligible for the award;  
• Eligible - Unavailable Funds – students who are eligible for the award, but for whom funds are not available; or  
• Eligible - Unavailable Funds (IFTC Teacher Only) - students who are eligible for an award based on enrollment in a teacher education program, but for whom funds are not available.

How to Access Data

Schools are able to access data in three different ways by selecting one of the award notification categories or Search All Views under “View” or one of the “Reports” from the left hand panel of the TESP Notications screen.

• Retrieve a specific set of data, from one award announcement category at a time, by applying a sort and/or a filter to view the results online; or 
• Use "Search All View" function to search by Last Name or SSN within multiple award announcement categories and display data (sorted by SSN, Status Date and then Program Type) on one screen. 
• Request a pre-defined report (sorted either by program or by status date) that lists students for your particular school who fall into the above award announcement categories;

TESP Notifications: View Screen 

The initial display of this screen will result in a default view with the following columns (this is exactly the same data available as part of the pre-defined reports).

• Applicant Category – corresponds to the date the TESP application was completed and whether the student is a renewal applicant (i.e., Timely Renewal, Timely New, Untimely Renewal, Untimely New)  
• Last Name – applicants are listed alphabetically by last name  
• First Name – applicant’s first name   
• MI – applicant’s Middle Initial
• SSN – applicant’s Social Security Number  
• Status Date – corresponds to date on the applicant’s notification letter  
• Program Type – IFTC or MTI  
• Hard-to-Staff Indicator (for IFTC only) – student’s response from the TESP Application (Y = yes, blank = no)  
• Estimated Award Amount – IFTC or MTI maximum limits or “unfunded” status  
• Enrollment Period – school’s response from the Initial Certification Document

TESP Notifications Page Display

The number of pages for each “View” category displays at the bottom of the screen. e.g. Page 1 of 2 (120 records).

• The number of rows that displays on one page is defaulted to a maximum of 100.  The rows per page can be decreased by changing the Rows per page setting on the bottom right hand side corner of the screen. The minimum rows per page can be decreased to 20. 
• Rows do not wrap to the next line.  Consequently, depending on the setting for the desktop (PC) screen area display (e.g., 640X480 pixels), the scrollbar that appears at the bottom of the screen may need to be used to view all data.  
• Links to First Page, Next Page and page numbers, display at the bottom of the screen.

• The Filter feature allows the user to designate specific records within one award announcement category at a time. Once the Filter is applied to the data, only the resulting records meeting the Filter criteria will be displayed. 
• The Sort function allows the user to arrange the data, within one award announcement category at a time, in a specific order.

Printing from the “View Screen”

To print from the “View Screen”, select the <File> option from the toolbar in the browser.  Also, select <Landscape> as the layout orientation.  Based on desktop (PC) settings, not all columns may appear on a single sheet of paper.  Remember, you may print pre-defined reports in an automatic landscape format.

Applicants Who Are Dual Awardees

Applicants are able to apply for IFTC, MTI or both programs on the TESP Application. They also indicate a preference between the two programs on the application. It is possible that an applicant could be found eligible (be awarded/funded) for both an IFTC and an MTI Scholarship. These applicants are defined by ISAC as "dual awardees" and can only receive funding from one of the scholarships during the academic year.

If an applicant was eligible to be funded in both programs, only the program indicated as the award preference on the application will display in My Zone.   Dual awardees will receive only one notification letter for the program they listed as their preference on the TESP Application.
