What are the Federal Teach Grant GPA requirements?

The Federal TEACH Grant program doesn't have a specific minimum GPA requirement. However, to be eligible, you must meet the requirements of the underlying federal student aid programs, which *do* include GPA considerations indirectly.

Here's why there's no direct GPA cutoff but GPA still matters:

* Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP): To receive *any* federal student aid, including a TEACH Grant, you must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). This is determined by your institution and usually includes minimum GPA requirements, along with course completion rates and other factors. Failing to meet your institution's SAP policy will make you ineligible for *all* federal aid, including the TEACH Grant. The specific GPA requirement for SAP varies by institution.

* Maintaining Eligibility: You must maintain good academic standing throughout your program to retain your TEACH Grant. Again, this involves meeting your institution's SAP standards, which usually encompass GPA requirements.

In short: While there isn't a federally mandated GPA minimum for the TEACH Grant itself, you need a GPA high enough to meet your college or university's SAP requirements to be eligible for and retain the grant. Check your institution's financial aid office for their specific SAP policies, including GPA expectations.
