| Welcome
FFMT
would like to congratulate our alumni on all of their
hard work. We hope that the alumni of FFMT are aware
of the benefits received from the Minority Teacher
Education Scholarship and the FFMT Recruitment and
Retention conferences. In addition to the financial
assistance, the information obtained during our annual
conferences will inevitably supplement the information
learned in the classroom. Please contact your legislator
and inform them of the benefits of your scholarship.

As
stated in the promissory note, you are required to
teach in a Florida Public School or State funded Charter
School for the same number of years the scholarship
was received.
In
order to receive credit for teaching, the following
documents are required:
Attachment
A - Records your initial employment. Please submit
this form at the beginning of each school year.
Attachment
B - Verifies your teaching employment. Please
submit this form at the end of every year taught.
The total number of days worked, an official school
seal, and a principal's signature must be included
on this form. The form must be mailed to FFMT's office
with signature.
Attachment
C - Provides an opportunity to request a deferment
from repaying your loan. Reasons for requesting a
deferment could include, inability to secure teaching
position or current full-time enrollment. Submission
of a request does not constitute approval. Deferments
do not extend your maximum payment time. Interest
does not accrue during a deferment.
Attachment
D - Complete this form if you believe you have
taught enough years to close your account, if you
would like to change your address, or if you would
like to document the number of years you have taught.
Please note that to receive credit for employment
service, you must be employed full-time as a teacher
in grades pre-K through 12 in the Florida Public School
System. In addition to the requisite teaching service,
Attachment B, (Certificate of Employment Service),
must also be completed and submitted before credit
for teaching service is granted.
If
you are not currently teaching, you must either begin
a repayment plan or request a deferment of repayment.
To begin a repayment plan, please contact the FFMT
office at (352) 392-9196. To apply for a deferment,
you must submit an Attachment
C , and provide the appropriate documentation.
If
you have any questions or concerns about your repayment
plan, please contact the FFMT Accountant at (352)
392-9196 ext. 23 or accounts@ffmt.org.
Also, if your address or phone number changes, please
complete attachment D to update your file.
Follow-up
Survey
Alumni,
FFMT encourages you to spread the word about the benefits
of our program. We would also like to know how we
have helped you reach your goals. Complete a minority
teacher follow-up survey to ensure that FFMT shares
your story with scholars, primary contacts and legislators.
We encourage you to tell your legislators how FFMT
has helped you and why the program should continue
to assist others. Write a letter to your legislator
along with the survey and we will forward it to your
respective legislator. Thank you for making Florida
a better place for all children.
