The TEACH Grant/Loan is a federal source of funds that provides up to $4,000 per year for students who plan to become teachers in certain subject areas and who plan to teach in low-income schools after graduation.
It’s important to know that there are several conditions you must meet in order to keep the TEACH Grant/Loan as gift aid (funding that you don’t have to repay). If you don’t meet all of the conditions, all of your TEACH Grant funds will be permanently converted into a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan with interest retroactive to the day the grant was disbursed to you.
