Have you ever dreamed of teaching art one day or to study for a M.F.A., Master of Fine Arts? 

A great start to a teaching career by not only supporting education in under-served communities, but also offsetting the cost of your education with a teaching grant from Kennesaw State University with a TEACH grant. 

Federal TEACH Grant

• Eligible students must be admitted to the Bagwell College of Education.
• Students must have Junior or Senior status or be enrolled in a graduate degree program in education.
• Students must have a 3.25 cumulative grade-point average.
• Students should be preparing for teacher certification in a critical-need field.
• Students should expect to commit to teaching in a low-income school for a minimum of 4 years within the first 8 years of graduating.
• Failure to complete the full teaching requirement reverts the TEACH Grant to an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan.
• The maximum annual award is $4,000. The annual amount is subject to change based on federal sequestration
