Are you planning on becoming a teacher? The College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 created the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program, which awards grants to students who intend to teach. The TEACH Grant recipient’s obligation is to serve as a highly qualified, full-time teacher in a high-need subject area for at least four years within eight years of finishing the program at a school serving low-income students/families (see important note below*). These are the initialrequirements to be considered to participate in the program:
The TEACH Grant Program provides up to $4,000.00 per year ($16,000.00 total for four year programs). Graduate students are also eligible for up to $4,000.00 per year ($8,000.00); maximum $2,000.00 per semester. Eligible students will have funds disbursed based on number of hours enrolled during each semester, as of the 14th day of class. The annual award limits are as follows:
