Title of Collection: Teacher Education 

Assistance for College and Higher 

Education Grant Eligibility Regulations. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0084. 

Type of Review: An extension of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households, Private 

Sector, State, Local or Tribal 

Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 251,452. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 40,309. 

Abstract: The Teacher Education 

Assistance for College and Higher 

Education (TEACH) Grant program is a 

non-need-based grant program that 

provides up to $4,000 per year to 

students who are enrolled in an eligible 

program and who agree to teach in a 

high-need field, at a low-income 

elementary or secondary school for at 

least four years within eight years of 

completing the program for which the 

Teach Grant was awarded. The TEACH 

Grant program regulations are required 

to ensure accountability of the program 

participants, both institutions and 

student recipients, for proper program 

administration, to determine eligibility 

to receive program benefits and to 

prevent fraud and abuse of program 

funds. The regulations include both 

record-keeping and reporting 

requirements. The record-keeping by the 

school allows for review of compliance 

with the regulation during on-site 

institutional reviews. The Department 

uses the required reporting to allow for 

close-out of institutions that are no 

longer participating or who lose 

eligibility to participate in the program.
