New teach grant program

The TEACH Grant Agreement to Serve specifies the conditions under which the grant will be awarded, the teaching service requirements, and includes an acknowledgment by you that you understand that if you do not meet the teaching service requirements you must repay the grant as a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan, with interest accrued from the date the grant funds were disbursed.

Service Obligation In exchange for receiving a TEACH Grant, you must agree to: Serve as a full-time teacher in a high-need field in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves low-income students. Teach for at least four academic years within eight calendar years of completing the program of study for which you received a TEACH Grant. You will be responsible for repaying these loans in full; interest will be charged and accrue from the disbursal date of each TEACH grant provided to you.

One part of this agreement is that you will teach in a low-income school in a high-need field. After graduation, you must teach in the high-need field you studied in school. As long as you teach at that school, or another approved institution, for the duration of your service obligation, your grant should remain as a grant. The Department of Education has designated seven high-need fields in low-income schools. This is true all over the US. One caveat: Your chosen high-need field must be included for the state in which you plan to teach at the time you start your qualifying teaching service or when you received a TEACH grant.

Even if the field later loses the high-need designation in the state where you will be teaching, you will still qualify for your grant. More than one-half of the classes you plan to teach each academic year has to be in a high-need field. Even if your chosen teaching field is no longer in a high-need designation, you can keep your grant. Yes, you can. Under three scenarios, you can temporarily suspend the eight-year period you have to complete your service obligation.

Your service obligation is also eligible for cancellation if you die or become disabled totally and permanently.
