FEDERAL TEACH GRANT (Award Year 2023-2024)

The Federal TEACH is available to students who intend to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families for four years within eight years of completing their degree leading to a career in teaching. To receive a TEACH Grant, you must meet the following criteria annually:

• Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), although you do not need to demonstrate financial need
• Be a U.S. Citizen or eligible non-citizen
• Be enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student
• Be enrolled in coursework that is necessary to begin a career in teaching
• Pursuing teaching certification in a high-needs field (see below)
• Meet certain academic achievement requirements (generally, scoring above the 75th percentile on a college admissions test or maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25)
• Complete TEACH Grant Entrance Counseling
• Sign a TEACH Grant Agreement to Serve (ATS)
• Complete a UOG TEACH Grant Application - APPLICATION IS BELOW
• DEADLINE TO APPLY: Friday September 15, 2023.  Electronic application will be disabled at exactly 5:00 p.m.

Students who change into a program of study that is not Federal TEACH Grant-eligible, cease to be enrolled, or graduate must complete Federal TEACH Grant Exit Counseling at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action.

If you do not meet the terms of the TEACH Grant Agreement to Serve (ATS), your Federal Teach Grant will convert into a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, with interest accrued and capitalized from the date of original disbursement.

The Federal TEACH Grant program provides grants of up to $4,000 a year to students; however, due to the automatic federal budget cuts, known as sequestration since October 1, 2014, the award amount for the TEACH Grant has been reduced.
