Teacher Education Assistance for
College and Higher Education
(TEACH) Grant Program

The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program will provide up to $4,000 annually in aid to undergraduate and graduate students who agree to teach as a highly qualified teacher in a "high need" field as listed in the Teacher Shortage Area Nationwide Listing that is issued annually by the Department of Education at a low income elementary or secondary school and maintain a 3.25 GPA. Total grant funding cannot exceed $16,000 for undergraduate students and $8,000 for graduate students. Participants must sign a contract to teach in a "high need" field at a "low income" school for at least four years within eight years of completing of their education program.
