Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant Program

Due to the Sequester, New TEACH Grant awards will be reduced by 7.1% (of the award amount for which you would have been eligible), resulting in a maximum award of $3716.

A federal grant awarded each year for students who intend to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low income families.

If you receive a TEACH grant, but do not complete the required teaching service, you will be required to repay the grants as a Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, with the interest charged from the date of each TEACH Grant disbursement. Students must be admitted into the Teacher Education program to qualify for the grant. Students seeking a TEACH Grant must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually. Financial Aid related questions should be sent to FA-TEACH@WPUNJ.EDU.

If you would like to discuss a teaching career, please contact Liana Fornarotto, Education Enrollment and Certification at 973-720-2206.
