Congress has created the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program that provides grants up to $4,000 per year (maximum $8,000) to students seeking the Reading Specialist certification who intend to teach in a school that serves students from low-income families. If after reading the information at this web site, http://www.studentaid.ed.gov/, you meet the criteria and are interested, please contact the SFA financial aide office at SFA at 936 468-2403.
Grants will be awarded beginning fall, 2008.
