Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education's Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant aims to increase the number of teachers in high-need fields and schools by providing up to $4,000 per year to undergraduate and graduate students enrolling in coursework to become a teacher. To meet the requirements of the TEACH Grant, recipients must teach in a high-need field such as reading specialist, mathematics, or science, at a high-need school, for at least four years in an eight-year period and annually certify that they intend to meet this requirement. A 2015 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report found that large numbers of TEACH Grant recipients did not meet the grant requirements (GAO 2015). If a recipient does not meet the grant requirements or the annual certification requirements, the grant converts to an unsubsidized loan (U.S. Department of Education 2016a). The purpose of this study was to answer three main questions: (1) How do TEACH Grant recipients view grant requirements and to what extent do recipients fulfill those requirements?; (2) What factors are associated with TEACH Grant recipients not meeting the grant requirements?; and (3) How do institutions of higher education administer TEACH Grants and support grant recipients? This study was conducted in 2016 and included a survey of institutions of higher education, a survey of grant recipients, interviews with institution staff, federal student aid data, and institutional data obtained from the loan servicer. This report initially presents the key findings across the study as a whole; then it presents the key findings from the three research questions. [For the results in brief, see ED613395.]
