Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 72/100 pending full current Round 5 terms. N9+ Fit 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit 0/100.

The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) has opened Round 5 of the Paraprofessional to Teacher Reimbursement Grant. The program is intended to support teacher recruitment in Georgia local educational agencies (LEAs) and Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Support (GNETS) programs by providing financial support to paraprofessionals completing teaching certification through the Georgia Teacher Academy for Preparation and Pedagogy (GaTAPP).
Current application window
GaDOE states that the program now uses a year-round application window with two scheduled State Board review periods each year and will remain open until all funds are allocated. The next application window closes December 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. The current public notice does not state a deadline time zone.
Eligibility
GaDOE states that Georgia LEAs are eligible to apply. Applicant-specific qualification requires verification that the district has one or more paraprofessionals who satisfy the current Round 5 GaTAPP reimbursement requirements.
Verification hold
The September 18, 2026 GaDOE notice confirms the opportunity, purpose, eligible applicant class, rolling structure, next deadline, and program contact, but it does not publish the current Round 5 reimbursement amount or funding range, match or cost-share terms, required forms and attachments, complete submission method, or deadline time zone. Those items must be verified from the controlling Round 5 materials before package production, applicant qualification, publication, or ORIGINAL outreach. Do not carry forward older-round dollar amounts or terms without current official confirmation.
Atlas assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 72/100 pending full Round 5 terms. N9+ Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. This is an educator-workforce reimbursement program and should not be used to introduce N9+ or QC Healthcare.
