About this opportunity
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.
