As a condition for receiving a TEACH
Grant, a student must sign an Agreement to Serve. A new Agreement
to Serve must be signed for each award year during which a student
wishes to receive a TEACH Grant. By signing the Agreement to Serve,
a TEACH Grant recipient agrees to meet the teaching service
obligation and other terms and conditions of the TEACH Grant
Program that are described in the Agreement to Service. In
accordance with these terms and conditions, if a TEACH Grant
recipient does not fulfill the required teaching service obligation
or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of the TEACH Grant
Program, any TEACH Grant funds the individual received will be
converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan that the grant recipient
must repay in full, with interest. The Agreement to Serve also
explains the repayment terms and conditions that will apply if a
TEACH Grant is converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan.
