Completion of fourth/final year of teaching

Teaching Fellows Final Employment Verification Form and Instructions for those who completed their fourth year of teaching during 2006-07:


The Teaching Fellows Graduate Employment Verification Form must be completed each year after undergraduate graduation (whether employed as a teacher in a North Carolina public school or not) and returned to the Teaching Fellows office until you have fulfilled your four-year service obligation in a North Carolina public or North Carolina U.S. Government school and have affirmed your fourth and final year of teaching. This means you will receive a Final Graduate Employment Verification Form after you have completed four years of teaching service.

For each year (defined as "a minimum of six full calendar months") of employment as a full-time licensed teacher, or in another educationally related professional capacity as defined by the Commission, (if you entered in the class of 1999 or before this means as a school counselor, school psychologist, school social worker, speech-language pathologist, or media specialist), one year of scholarship/loan, up to $6,500.00, will be removed from your account. While experiences in other positions are valuable and provide professional growth, they cannot be credited as service for repayment of the loan.
