The federal TEACH grant comes through the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007. Congress created the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) grant program, which provides grants of up to $4,000 per year to students who are completing or plan to complete course work needed to begin a teaching career.
