Amount Info
**Value**
The TEACH grant can be awarded for up to $4,000 per academic year, depending upon enrollment. While funding is considered a grant (free money), if students do not meet their post-graduation teaching commitment, this grant converts to an unsubsidized loan, and interest is applied retroactively.
**AWARD AMOUNT**
The amount you receive will depend on your enrollment status each semester. Additionally, TEACH Grants are reduced by sequestered percentage as determined by the Department of Education. Below is a chart which reflects the annual amounts, less the sequestered percentage.
