The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program provides federal grants of up to $4000 per year, for a maximum of $8,000. In exchange for receiving a TEACH Grant, you must agree to serve as a full-time teacher in a high-need field in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves low-income students. As a recipient of a TEACH Grant, you must teach for at least four academic years within eight calendar years of completing the program of study for which you received a TEACH Grant.
To meet your service agreement for the TEACH Grant and avoid loan repayment, you must teach in a high need field as identified below. The field must be your primary teaching assignment for the majority of your time and not integrated as one part of your teaching assignments.

You may find out if your campus is identified as a high needs campus by going to the website https://www.tcli.ed.gov/CBSWebApp/tcli/, click on Search, select Texas, and enter the name of your school. The search feature seems to work best if you enter only the proper name of the school; for example; Conroe; not Conroe High School; or Cryar; not Cryar Intermediate School
