Scholarship Description

A Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant is different from other federal student grants because it requires you to take certain kinds of classes in order to get the grant, and then do a certain kind of job to keep the grant from turning into a loan.

The TEACH Grant Program provides grants of up to $4,000 a year to students who are completing or plan to complete course work needed to begin a career in teaching.

To be eligible for a TEACH Grant, you must do the following:

  • Be enrolled as an undergraduate, postbaccalaureate, or graduate student at a school that participates in the TEACH Grant Program.

  • Be enrolled in a TEACH-Grant-eligible program.

  • Meet certain academic achievement requirements (generally, scoring above the 75th percentile on one or more portions of a college admissions test or maintaining a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25). For specific information about the academic requirements, talk to theĀ financial aid officeĀ at your college or career school.

  • ReceiveĀ TEACH Grant counselingĀ that explains the terms and conditions of the TEACH GrantĀ service obligation. You must complete counseling each year that you receive a TEACH Grant.

  • Sign aĀ TEACH Grant Agreement to Serve (see below)

As a condition for receiving a TEACH Grant, you must sign aĀ TEACH Grant Agreement to ServeĀ in which you agree to (among other requirements) teach

  • in a high-need field;

  • at an elementary school, secondary school, orĀ educational service agencyĀ that serves students from low-income families; and

  • for at least four complete academic years within eight years after completing (or ceasing enrollment in) the course of study for which you received the grant.
