To be considered for any TSSP or NBPTS certification bonus, an educator must submit an application during the enrollment period for the desired payment schedule using this website every year.

Before registering and applying, educators new to this service site should review:

This service site enables:

  • Account Profile Creation and Maintenance
  • Qualification Verification
  • Application Submission
  • Viewing of Current Funding Status
  • Viewing of Prior Application and Bonus History (since the 2016-17 school year)
