Are you interested in a $4,000 grant which is available for aspiring teachers? Through the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007, Congress created the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program that provides grants of up to $4,000 per year to students who plan to teach in public or private elementary or secondary school serving low income families.
Are you interested in a $4,000 grant which is available for aspiring teachers? Through the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007, Congress created the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program that 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.
To receive a TEACH Grant you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), although you do not have to demonstrate financial need. If you are interested in learning more about the TEACH Grant Program, you should contact the financial aid office at the college where you will be enrolled to find out if they participate in the TEACH Grant Program. Bachelor's degree finder is an easy to use free service to help you find schools in your area. There are links to information about:
finishing high school online;
distance learning degrees;
online bachelor and masters degrees;
online associate degrees.
The funds for the grants are allocated from each State budget and given many of the recent budget cuts, it is wise to double check to see if the State you plan to work in has continued funding the TEACH Grant Program in support of this education assistance initiative. There are specific requirements to be fullfilled once you start working so it is a good idea to research thoroughly to ensure that you understand the expectations right up front.
I know one teacher who has been working in low income schools since graduating with a degree and teaching certificate several years ago. She would not trade the experience and knowledge that she has gained for anything. She has found the students to be responsive to learning and excited to be challenged. The first step, according to her, is to show the students how interested you are in them and to be real and authentic.
The fact is that teachers who participate in the TEACH Grant Program must have the same attributes as this teacher. Their commitment to contribute to changing the dismal learning conditions and mediocre learning outcomes in these challenging low income schools is essential. Congress has recognized this need by allocated these funds for this program. Students of today are the leaders of tomorrow and our country will be in dire straits without significant changes to our educational system and the results they produce in their students. One step at a time, right?
