Question

Application to the director higher education regarding shortage of teaching staff at your college

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant is a program that provides up to $4,000 per year to students who intend to teach full-time in high-need subject areas for at least four years (within an eight-year period) at schools that serve students from low-income families. Grant highlights include the following:

• Undergraduates preparing to teach in a high-need subject area may receive up to four years of non-need grants of $4000 per year ($16,000 total).
• Graduate students in Curry licensure or endorsement programs focused on high-need areas are eligible for 2 years of funding at $4,000 per year ($8,000 total).
• Part-time graduate students preparing to teach in high-need areas are also eligible, but the maximum grant will be reduced.
• The TEACH Grant actually functions like a loan with a forgiveness component. You receive the money like a grant while in school. If you do not fulfill the obligations of the grant, it will convert to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan that you must repay, with interest charged from the date of each TEACH Grant disbursement.
