• Complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
• Be enrolled and taking coursework in an eligible major at Kent State University. A TEACH Grant-eligible program is a program that is designed to prepare an individual to teach as a highly-qualified teacher in a high-need field and leads to a baccalaureate or master's degree.
• Students who aren't automatically awarded the TEACH Grant will be notified via their Kent State email address if potentially eligible. These students will be required to first complete the TEACH Entrance Counseling requirement online. Then students will receive an email with a DocuSign link where the request can be submitted. The Student Financial Aid Office will then review the requests and determine the student’s eligibility. It is up to the student to verify that their current or future teaching position falls in the high-need field.
  • Students who are not interested in the TEACH Grant may decline the TEACH Grant on FlashLine.
  • Students whose major is not listed above but wish to be reviewed for TEACH Grant eligibility must contact the One Stop for Student Services to self-identify.
• Complete the TEACH Grant Initial and Subsequent Counseling and sign a TEACH Grant Agreement to serve or repay (ATS) at the Federal Student Aid website each year. It is recommended that students wait to complete the ATS until they have completed the Initial or Subsequent Counseling, and accepted the TEACH Grant award on FlashLine.

Please note: The ATS for the upcoming academic year will not be available for students to complete until early May. Please return to the Federal Student Aid website to complete your ATS in early May.
