TEACHER EDUCATION ASSISTANCE FOR COLLEGE AND HIGHER EDUCATION (TEACH) GRANT

The College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 created the TEACH Grant program, which will allow eligible students to be awarded up to $4,000 per year ($16,000 maximum for a four year program) in grants. Graduate students are eligible for up to $4,000 per year ($8,000 maximum limit).

Due to Sequestration:
*Any Federal TEACH Grants disbursed after October 1, 2020, and before October 1, 2024, are subject to a 5.7% reduction. Students are eligible for up to $3,772 per award year. 

The TEACH (Teacher Educational Assistance for College and Higher Education) Grant is different from other federal student grants because it requires you to take certain kinds of classes in order to get the grant, and then do a certain kind of job to keep the grant from turning into a loan.

Tax Deductibility of Tuition Payments

Students paying for all or part of their tuition may be entitled to tax deductions.  Because deductibility is dependent on your personal tax status, you should consult with your tax specialist or accountant to determine any potential tax savings for qualifying tuition payments.   The university will provide you with a 1098T for any tuition billed during a calendar year.
