The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant provides up to $4,000 per year to students preparing to teach in high-need subject areas at low-income elementary or secondary schools. Recipients sign an Agreement to Serve committing to four years of full-time teaching within eight years of program completion. Failure to complete the service obligation converts the grant to an unsubsidized loan.
Answer each question — we'll show you exactly what applies to your situation.
Are you a US citizen or qualifying non-citizen?
Are you (or your child) enrolled in a participating program or school?
What is your household income?
This program requires income at or below 80% of the Federal Poverty Level — that's the government's measure of what it costs to meet basic needs. Select your household size to see your exact dollar limit.
Count everyone who lives and eats with you — yourself, spouse/partner, children, and any dependents. Count a pregnant woman as 2.
Do you maintain at least a 3.25 cumulative GPA or score in the top 25% of a standardized test?
If service obligation is not met, the grant converts to an unsubsidized Direct Loan with interest accruing from disbursement?
