Topic: TEACH Grant Fundamentals and Responding
to the NPRM
Date Recorded: April 7, 2008
The TEACH Grant Webinar Series is co-sponsored with
the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education.
The new TEACH Grant program provides up to
$4,000 per year in grant aid for undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and graduate
study to prepare or help prepare highly qualified teachers in high-need fields.
A total of $16,000 is available for undergraduate or post-baccalaureate study
and a total of $8000 is available for pursuit of a Master’s degree. Students
incur a service obligation in exchange for the grant: four years of full-time
teaching in low-income schools within 8 years after completing the course of
study. Students who do not fulfill the teaching obligation must repay the grant
funds as unsubsidized Direct Loans.
In this Webinar, NASFAA staff examines the
TEACH Grant Program and discusses responding to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) published on March 21.
Dr. Jane West will speak from the teacher education point of view. Gail McLarnon
and Kay Gilcher, federal negotiators for the TEACH Grant Program, will also
join us to help answer your questions.
