If you are a junior, senior, or graduate student with a GPA of 3.25 or higher and you intend to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school in a high-need field that serves students from low-income families, apply to the TEACH Grant Program.
As a grant recipient, you must teach for at least four academic years within eight calendar years of completing your degree. Failure to complete this obligation results in all amounts of TEACH Grants received being converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Student Loan. You must then repay this loan to the U.S. Department of Education, and interest will be charged from the date the grant was disbursed.
