Both government and private teaching grants exist. Government grants, such as the TEACH grant, and private grants often require students to have career goals that meet a specific need, such as the desire to teach in low-income areas.
College teaching grants come in various amounts, ranging from a few hundred dollars to the entire cost of a teaching degree. In addition to tuition, some college teaching grants and scholarships allow you to spend the grant money for room, board and books.
To qualify for teacher's grants and scholarships, you must maintain a quality academic record. Many grants require applicants to meet high grade point average standards.
