TEACH San Antonio Scholarship

TEACH scholarships are awards for future teachers like you! If you meet the overall eligibility criteria and any scholarship-specific criteria, you'll be entered into a drawing.

Simply:

1) Sign up for a free TEACH account.

2) Apply to a partner teaching program to be eligible for the scholarship. All eligible submissions will be entered into a random drawing.

You must be admitted to and enroll in a partner teaching program to receive the scholarship funds.

TEACH awards multiple scholarships per year per partner region. We conduct drawings throughout the year.

Applying multiple times does not increase your chances of winning, and any duplicate entries for future deadlines will be considered ineligible. Please only submit one application for each scholarship.

Yes! You can apply for as many scholarships as you want. However, you will only be selected for one scholarship if you win.

You'll need to fill out a separate application form for each scholarship.

No. The TEACH Grant Program is a federal program that provides grants of up to $4,000 a year to students who 1) are completing or plan to complete coursework needed to begin a career in teaching and who 2) teach in a high-need field in a low-income area.

Only individuals pursuing first-time teacher certification through a partner program are eligible. Current teachers looking to add credentials to their teaching certificate or those pursuing administrator certification are not eligible.

You can use your scholarship toward tuition or other program-related expenses at a partner teaching program. The funds can be sent directly to the program, or they can be paid directly to you so they can be used for other teacher preparation expenses like books, laptops, transportation, etc.

If your name is chosen, you can expect to hear back from us 1–2 weeks after the scholarship deadline. Because we receive a large number of applications, we do not reach out to scholarship applicants who are deemed ineligible or whose names were not drawn.

If you’re selected, your scholarship funds will be awarded within 1–2 weeks after you’ve provided us with all of the required documentation, including proof you’ve enrolled in a teaching program and payment-related instructions. Payments can be issued directly to your program or to you through PayPal.

All scholarships are non-renewable, one-time awards.
