Funding Opportunities
TEACH Grant
The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant is a federal grant program that provides up to $4,000 per year to students who are completing or plan to complete coursework needed to begin a career in teaching. To receive a TEACH Grant, students must sign a TEACH Grant Agreement to Serve, agreeing to teach in a high-need field at a school serving low-income students for at least four years within eight years of completing the program. If the service obligation is not met, the grants convert to Direct Unsubsidized Loans with interest accrued from the date of disbursement.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is a federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Education for undergraduate students with exceptional financial need. This campus-based aid program provides grants to students who demonstrate the greatest financial need, with priority given to Federal Pell Grant recipients. Unlike loans, FSEOG funds do not need to be repaid. The program is administered directly by the financial aid office at participating schools, which receive a limited amount of FSEOG funds each year from the federal government.
Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant is a form of need-based federal financial aid provided by the U.S. Department of Education to undergraduate students who demonstrate exceptional financial need. Unlike loans, Pell Grants do not have to be repaid except under certain circumstances such as withdrawal from enrollment. The grant helps students from low-income households afford the costs of postsecondary education including tuition, fees, room and board, and other educational expenses. Eligibility is determined primarily through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which assesses the student's financial situation. The amount awarded depends on the student's Expected Family Contribution (EFC) or Student Aid Index (SAI), cost of attendance at their school, enrollment status (full-time or part-time), and whether they attend for a full academic year or less.
