TEACH Grant

Through the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007, Congress created the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher (TEACH) Education Grant Program to provide grants of up to $4,000 per year to students who intend to teach in a high-need field at a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families. 

For more detailed information on the TEACH Grant, visit the TEACH Grant fact sheet or visit the Federal TEACH Grant program web site. 

How to Apply: 

1. Read the Initial and Subsequent TEACH Grant Counseling Guide
2. Be eligible for Federal financial aid (must complete the FAFSA)
3. Complete the ETBU Application for the Federal TEACH Grant
4. Once you submit the completed application, an ETBU Financial Aid representative will determine your eligibility and contact you regarding the next step in the process. 

Because the Federal TEACH Grant only applies to students intending to teach as a highly qualified teacher in high-need subject area fields at schools serving low-income students, eligible ETBU students must: 

• Have already completed EDUC 3301 & EDUC 3302
• Have been admitted to the ETBU Teacher Education Program
• Be pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Education Degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Math or Science, OR Secondary Education with a major in Math or Science
