During Summer Institute, also known as “Summer A,” we cover your housing and meal expenses. However, once Summer Institute concludes (at the beginning of July), you’ll need to budget for your living expenses using your salary or stipend.

To assist you with housing arrangements, your region’s Enrollment Manager will provide support and various resources. These resources, tailored to each region, may include housing guides, assistance in finding roommates, information on local apartment complexes with reserved units and discounted rent, and more.

Additionally, we partner with Mariner Financial Wellness, a financial wellness and 1:1 coaching platform. You can access this benefit for free through City Teaching Alliance starting in the Spring before Summer Institute and throughout the entire program. With their tools and real, human coaches, Mariner Financial Wellness can help you with monthly budgeting, reduce financial stress, build confidence, and work towards financial success by saving more money and reducing debt.
