AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the federal TEACH Grant program, which gives money to college students who agree to teach in certain schools or subjects. It would raise the yearly grant from $4,000 to $8,000 and double the total lifetime limits to $32,000 for undergraduate study and $16,000 for graduate study. It would let recipients meet the teaching requirement by working in high-need early childhood education programs and add early childhood education as a qualifying subject. It would bar the Department of Education from charging a money penalty to recipients who do not complete the teaching service, and would have the Department send an electronic certificate when service is completed. It would also exempt TEACH Grants from automatic federal spending cuts known as sequestration.
