Exit from the program can result in a loss of employment and ineligibility to complete the Alternative Teacher Licensure program at a future time. Candidates are responsible for the payment of their promissory notes regardless of their completion status of the program.

Scholarships, Student Grant/Loans, and other Financial Aid

Because TILA has developed a payment structure that is in some cases 50%-75% below that of comparable programs, it does not provide scholarships and cannot guarantee financial aid through UCDHSC or other governmental agencies. TILA staff, however, will be happy to assist candidates by referring them to outside sources for information that may lead to financial assistance. You may also qualify for Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funds from your local workforce center.  Go here for more information:http://www.coworkforce.com/EMP/WFCs.asp#wfcbycity.
