The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program awards grants to students who intend to teach, to help pay for the costs of their postsecondary education.

As a condition for receiving a TEACH Grant, a student must agree to perform four years of full-time qualifying teaching service within eight years after ceasing enrollment at the school where they received the grant. If a TEACH Grant recipient fails to meet the service obligation requirement, all TEACH Grants they received are converted to Direct Unsubsidized Loans that must be repaid in full to the U.S. Department of Education, with interest.
