The Education Corps is designed to provide tutoring and after - school support but not necessarily to train future teachers.92 The VISTA program matches corps
members with a
nonprofit organization to perform capacity building and provides yearlong stipends, but it is not intended for provision of direct services.93 The Professional Corps, which specifies teaching as one of its qualified positions, allows participants to access Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards — which recipients can use either for loan forgiveness or for paying tuition and other qualifying
educational expenses — but increases residency program costs because residents are prohibited from receiving stipends through AmeriCorps and must therefore be paid through their program or the school district.94 None of these programs were designed for supported entry specifically; thus, programs dedicated to providing a gradual on - ramp to the teaching profession can sometimes find it hard to meet their definitions and requirements.
