TEACH Grant
The TEACH Grant provides assistance of up to $4,000 per year to students whose intention is to teach in a "high need field (subject matter)" and intend to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low income families. Unlike most need-based grant programs, the TEACH Grant is available to graduate students as well as undergraduates.
- As a recipient, students agree to teach a "high need field" full-time and for a minimum of four years within eight years following program completion. The TEACH Grant will remain a grant if recipients meet specific criteria. If recipients do not meet the criteria, the TEACH Grant converts to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan with interest calculated to the initial disbursement date(s).
- In addition to completing the FAFSA, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen and be enrolled in coursework necessary to begin a career in teaching.
