Provided by Federal Program
The TEACH Grant is a federal program that provides annual grants to undergraduate and graduate students who plan to teach. Recipients must agree to teach full time in high-need subject areas at schools serving children from low-income families. The grant provides up to $4,000 per year to full-time students, with aggregate limits of $16,000 for undergraduate programs and $8,000 total for graduate students. Part-time students receive prorated amounts. Recipients must teach for at least four academic years as a highly qualified teacher in a high-need field in a low-income school within eight years of finishing their teacher preparation programs.
