TEACH Grant

You could be eligible to receive nearly $4,000 per year if you would like to teach in a low-income school and you are planning to teach math, science, foreign language, English for speakers of other languages, special education or another high-need area.

 

Once you have reviewed the TEACH Grant Information, you can check to see if you are eligible by completing the TEACH Grant Interest Form and submitting it to AACC's Financial Aid Office.

 

Official TEACH Grant information below is from the Federal Student Aid website at http://studentaid.ed.gov/types/grants-scholarships/teach. Be sure to visit that website for details.

 

The TEACH Grant Program provides grants of up to $4,000 a year to students who are completing or plan to complete course work needed to begin a career in teaching.

As a condition for receiving a TEACH Grant, you must sign a TEACH Grant Agreement to Serve in which you agree to (among other requirements) teach

• in a high-need field
• at an elementary school, secondary school, or educational service agency that serves students from low-income families
• for at least four complete academic years within eight years after completing (or ceasing enrollment in) the course of study for which you received the grant.

IMPORTANT: If you do not complete your service obligation, all TEACH Grant funds you received will be converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan. You must then repay this loan to the U.S. Department of Education, with interest charged from the date the TEACH Grant was disbursed (paid to you or on your behalf).
