Federal Teach Grant

The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program provides up to $4,000 (depending on funding) annual grants to students who plan to become teachers. In exchange for the grant, candidates must agree to serve as full-time teachers at certain schools and within certain high-need fields for at least four academic years within eight years of completing the course of study for which a grant was received. If a grant recipient does not carry out that obligation, the TEACH grant funds he/she received convert to a Direct unsubsidized loan that must be repaid with interest.

Students must adhere to academic standards: minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25. Incoming Freshmen students first term GPA will be based on high school graduation GPA and first college semester cumulative GPA. Transfer student’s eligibility will be based on transferring college GPA and first term GPA.

In addition to academic and program requirements, students must complete Entrance Counseling and an Agreement to Serve each year to receive the award.
