教授予

联邦教育补助金

The College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 created the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant Program or 教授予, which awards grants to students who intend to teach. 

The 教授予 recipient’s obligation is to serve as a highly qualified, full-time teacher in a high-need subject area for at least four years within eight years of finishing the program at a school serving low-income students/families.

Recipients who do not complete their teaching obligation will have to 偿还 the 教授予s as if the grants were a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan, with interest accruing from the time the grant was disbursed.
