The Mississippi Teacher Corps is a two-year program, similar to the Peace Corps, that recruits college graduates to teach in Mississippi schools, primarily in the Mississippi Delta (rural) and in Jackson (urban). The program is designed for non-education majors and offers a host of benefits, including:

• Teacher training and certification
• Full scholarship for a master’s degree in education from the University of Mississippi
• Job placement that includes full pay ($30,000+) and benefits
• The opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students in one of the poorest areas of the country
