Federal Teach Grants

Piedmont University participates in the Federal TEACH Grant Program for undergraduate and graduate students. Interested students are encouraged to research the program and submit an application to the Piedmont University Financial Aid Office. The Federal TEACH Program is available to first baccalaureate and first post-baccalaureate degree students only. At Piedmont University, students enrolled in the Education Specialist or Doctoral Program are ineligible for this program.

The TEACH Grant Program was created by Congress in the University Cost Reduction and Access Act. For more information call the Federal Information Student Center: 1-800-4-FEDAID or view the website studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/grants/teach. In exchange for receiving the TEACH Grant, a student must be a highly qualified, full-time teacher in a high-need subject area for at least four years at a school serving low-income students. For a list of low-income schools please see the list at studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/grants/teach.
