Abstract: The College Cost Reduction
and Access Act (Pub. L. 110–84) (the
CCRAA) established the Teacher
Education Assistance for College and
Higher Education (TEACH) Grant
Program under Part A of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended (the
HEA). The regulations governing the
TEACH Grant Program are in 34 CFR
686. The Department of Education (the
Department) is requesting extension
without change of this information
collection for the TEACH Grant
regulations under 34 CFR 686.43.
The TEACH Grant Program provides
grants of up to $4,000 per year to
undergraduate and graduate students
who are completing, or who intend to
complete, coursework necessary to
begin a career in teaching. In exchange
for receiving a TEACH Grant, a grant
recipient must agree to complete a
teaching service obligation and must
regularly provide documentation of his
or her progress toward satisfying the
service obligation. If a grant recipient
fails to complete the service obligation
or does not meet requirements for
documenting the service obligation, the
TEACH Grants that the individual
received are converted to a Direct
Unsubsidized Loan that must be repaid,
with interest charged from the date of
each TEACH Grant disbursement.
The regulations govern when a
TEACH Grant will be converted to a
Direct Unsubsidized Loan, as well as
provide for annual notifications from
the Secretary to the recipient regarding
the status of a recipient’s TEACH Grant
service obligation. Under the
regulations, a TEACH Grant recipient
can request conversion if the recipient
decides not to fulfill the TEACH Grant
obligations for any reason or if the
recipient fails to begin or maintain
qualifying teaching service within a
timeframe to complete the service
obligation in the requisite eight-year
period. Additionally, the regulations
describe the notifications the Secretary
will annually send to all TEACH Grant
recipients regarding the service
obligation requirements.
