Often local banks will offer financial assistance to candidates in the form of a one year loan or a low interest loan. These loans are based on candidates’ individual credit history. If your bank is not listed, please make the initial contact yourself. If your banker requests any information about the National Board process, please contact Tammy Kirkland at the World Class Teaching Program, kirkland@olemiss.edu.
