Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant

This is a federal grant program awarding up to $3,772 per year to students who intend to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families.

• The TEACH grant requires that students agree to work as a full-time teacher in a high-need field, in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves low-income students. A TEACH grant recipient must teach for at least four academic years within eight calendar years of completing the program of study for which the TEACH grant was received. IMPORTANT: If a student fails to complete this teaching obligation, all amounts of TEACH Grants that were received will be converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan. This loan plus all accrued interest must be repaid to the U.S. Department of Education. Interest will be charged from the date the grants were disbursed.
• Students must meet certain achievement requirements. New students generally need to score above the 75th percentile on a college admissions test. Continuing students need to maintain at least a 3.25 GPA (each semester).
• Students must complete initial counseling prior to receiving the grant, subsequent counseling prior to each award year, and exit counseling after leaving the university.
• Students must complete a TEACH Grant Agreement to Serve or Repay (Agreement) each year to receive a TEACH grant. Information about high-need fields and schools serving low-income students, eligibility requirements, grant conditions, and the service agreement is available at StudentAid.gov.
