• Quick Facts about Federal Grants

    There are four types of grants offered by the federal government:

    • Pell Grant—awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need.
    • Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)—awarded in addition to the Pell Grant to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need.
    • Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH)—awarded to undergraduate or graduate students who plan to teach in a high-need field at the elementary or secondary school level. Recipients must agree to serve a minimum of four years as a full-time teacher in a high-need field in a school that serves low-income students.
    • Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant—awarded to students whose parent or guardian was a member of the U.S. armed forces and died as a result of performing military service in Iraq or Afghanistan after the events of 9/11.
