Federal Teach Grant Program

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 ($8000 graduate student maximum) to students who intend to teach in a specific high-need field in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families. Antioch University New England has designated the following programs as TEACH Grant eligible: Science Teacher Certification, Experienced Educators, Elementary Teacher Certification, and Waldorf Teacher Education. Interested students should carefully read the TEACH Fact Sheet. Students who are interested in applying for the TEACH Grant, after reading the TEACH Fact Sheet, should complete the steps below.
