   TEACHER EDUCATION ASSISTANCE FOR COLLGE AND HIGHER EDUCATION ( TEACH GRANT )

Please note that this information is preliminary and we will pass along more information as it becomes available.  Information about the TEACH grant awarding process at DePaul will be available on this web site after July 1, 2008.

The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH Grant) is a new federal grant program, announced for the 2008-2009 academic year, for students who plan to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families.  

The TEACH grant provides up to $4,000 per year.  In exchange for receiving the TEACH Grant, you must agree to serve as a full-time teacher in a high-need field in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves low-income students.  As a recipient of a TEACH Grant, you must teach for at least four academic years within eight calendar years of completing your program of study for which you received a TEACH Grant.

IMPORTANT: If you fail to complete this service obligation, all TEACH Grant funds that you received will be converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. You must then repay this loan to the U.S. Department of Education. You will be charged interest from the date the grant(s) was disbursed.

For more information you should visit the TEACH grant web site.

   SPECIAL UPDATE:  RECENT LEGISLATION ENHANCES STUDENT LOAN BENEFITS

Legislation has been passed that will significantly benefit undergraduate students who borrow federal student loans.  Preliminary information about the legislation is described in brief below.  Please note although this legislation takes effect after July 1, 2008, the U.S. Department of Education has not yet issued regulations or implementation dates.  We will continue to monitor updates to this legislation and keep you informed on this web site.

This legislation will make additional unsubsidized loan funds available to undergraduate students.  This additional loan eligibility would add the option of an increased $2,000 in annual Federal Direct Unsubsidized Student Loan funds to eligible students whose costs support this increased loan amount.  

We anticipate that we will send all eligible students a revised award notice, reflecting this increased eligibility, as soon as we receive full information from the U.S. Department of Education.  Eligible students will have the option of accepting this additional $2,000 loan,  reducing any private loan funds by this amount.  

   2008-2009 FINANCIAL AID DISBURSEMENT DATES

Funds will be applied to your tuition account after the close of business on this date. You will see the credit(s) reflected on your tuition account on the next business day.
