Federal TEACH Grant

Congress created the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant Program (TEACH) to provide grants of up to $4,000.00 per year for students who plan to teach in designated math, science, special education, language, and other high-need subject fields. Undergraduate students are not eligible for the TEACH Grant until after they have been admitted into Professional Education (this typically will be your junior year).

Please note: Elementary Education majors do not qualify for the TEACH Grant.

Please connect with the College of Education Advising Office if any of the expenses related to licensure are a financial burden. Together we can discuss potential resources to help you to complete your degree.
