TEACH Grant

The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program provides up to $4,000 a year in grant assistance to students who are completing coursework needed to begin a career in teaching. In order to be eligible for a TEACH grant, a student must submit a FAFSA form and sign an Agreement to Serve as a full-time teacher at certain low-income schools and within certain high-need fields for at least four academic years within eight years after completing (or ceasing enrollment in) the course of study for which the student received the grant. The U.S. Department of Education will determine your eligibility for this program.

The TEACH Grant converts to an Unsubsidized Direct Loan if the student fails to complete any part of the obligation. The loan, plus interest, must be repaid.

If you are interested in applying for the Federal TEACH Grant, please submit the USJ TEACH Grant Application after completing the TEACH Grant Agreement to Serve or Repay (ATS).
