Teach Grant

The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program provides grants of up to $4,000 per year to students who intend to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families. Recipients of a TEACH Grant must teach for at least four academic years within eight calendar years of completing the program of study for which the TEACH Grant was received. IMPORTANT: Upon failure to complete this service obligation, all amounts of TEACH Grants received will be converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. This loan must then be repaid to the U.S. Department of Education. Students will be charged interest from the date the grant(s) was disbursed. To receive a TEACH Grant students must meet a number of student eligibility requirements. Please contact the WLU Financial Aid staff for additional information.
