I Understand That: 

1. TEACH Grant is only available to students who are training to become certified teachers in a high-need subject field (see 
other side for Lehman College eligible programs) and who plan to teach in low-income (Title 1) schools. 


 

2. I must enroll in courses and accumulate credits necessary for the completion of teacher certification in one of the above 
subject fields. 


 

3. For each year that I wish to receive TEACH Grant funds, I must file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student 
Aid). 


 

4. Each year’s TEACH Grant award requires that I complete a new “Agreement to Serve” contract and completion of new 
TEACH Grant Entrance Counseling. 


 

5. I must have an earned cumulative undergraduate and graduate GPA of at least 3.25 or submit proof of scoring at or 
above the 75th percentile on a national college admissions test. 


 

6. Continued eligibility requires that I maintain a cumulative graduate GPA of 3.25 or submit proof of scoring at or above 
the 75th percentile on a national college admissions test. 


 

7. I must complete a four (4) year service obligation, at a low income school, within eight (8) years of finishing teacher 
training. 


 

8. Upon completion of each year of teaching service, it is my responsibility to submit to the Direct Loan Service Center 
documentation of such service. 


By signing this form, I certify that I have read this form and request that Lehman College determine my eligibility for 
TEACH Grant funds. If it is determined that I am TEACH Grant eligible, I further request that this grant be added 
to my financial aid award package. 

 

I understand that should I receive TEACH Grant funding and fail to complete the service obligation, all of my 
TEACH Grant funds will be converted into a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, with interest accrued and 
capitalized from the date(s) of original disbursement(s). Once this grant is converted to a loan, it cannot be converted 
back to a grant.
