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

Award amount: up to $3,772 per year

Part-time or full-time graduates and undergraduates preparing to teach are eligible to receive the TEACH Grant. Students must teach in a high-need area at a high-need school for four years within eight years of program completion. If the student does not meet this teaching requirement, the grant converts to an unsubsidized Direct Loan with interest accrued. Eligible students will have a cumulative 3.25 GPA (for freshmen, high school GPA; for transfer, continuing and graduate students, college GPA is considered) or score in the 75th percentile or higher on any battery of a college entrance exam (students will be required to provide supporting documentation). Learn more about the TEACH Grant.
