Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant
The Department of Education’s TEACH Grant Program provides funds to postsecondary students who are completing or plan to complete coursework that is needed to begin a career in teaching and who also agree to serve for at least four years as a full-time, highly qualified teacher in a high-need field, in a school serving low-income students. Eligible full-time students may receive up to $4,000 per year in TEACH Grant funds, up to a maximum of $16,000 for undergraduate and post-baccalaureate study, and $8,000 for graduate study.
If you receive a TEACH Grant but do not complete the required four years of teaching service within eight years after completing the coursework for which you received the grant or if you otherwise do not meet the requirements of the TEACH Grant Program, all TEACH Grant funds that you received will be converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan that you must repay in full, with interest dating back to the original disbursement date, to the Department of Education. Once a TEACH Grant is converted to a loan, it cannot be converted back to a grant.
For additional information about the Federal TEACH Grant program, click here.
Students who have received the Federal Perkins Loan must complete Loan Exit Counseling if they drop below half-time enrollment status or graduate. An e-mail explaining the process will be sent once the Financial Aid Office receives notification that the student is no longer enrolled at least half-time.
The subsidized loan is a need-based loan for which the federal government subsidizes (pays) the interest during the qualifying period. The maximum amount that students may borrow per year is $3,500 for freshmen, $4,500 for sophomores, and $5,500 for juniors and seniors. The results of your FAFSA determine your eligibility for this loan. Total subsidized loans for undergraduate students cannot exceed $23,000.
The Federal PLUS Loan is a loan parents can obtain to help pay the cost of education for their dependent undergraduate children. In addition, graduate and professional degree students may obtain PLUS Loans to help pay for their own education. Applications may be submitted online. Graduate students applying for the Federal Direct PLUS loan are required to complete a Master Promissory Note when applying. Exit Counseling is also required for graduate students who borrow through this program. Students can find additional information about this loan program on the Federal Student Aid web page.

There is no penalty for early repayment. You will save yourself money because you will pay less interest.
Example:
-If you borrowed $20,000 in a Stafford loan with a fixed interest rate of 6% and are paying on the standard 10-year plan, minimum payments are $222 a month.
-If you only make the minimum payments, you will pay $6,645 in interest alone over the 10-year repayment period.
To calculate your payments you may use the repayment estimator.
