The Teacher Education Assistance for
College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant program is a
non-need-based grant program that provides up to $4,000 per year to
students who are enrolled in an eligible program and who agree to
teach in a high-need field, at a low-income elementary or secondary
school for at least four years within eight years of completing the
program for which the TEACH Grant was awarded. The TEACH Grant
program regulations are required to ensure accountability of the
program participants, both institutions and student recipients, for
proper program administration, to determine eligibility to receive
program benefits and to prevent fraud and abuse of program funds.
The regulations include both recordkeeping and reporting
requirements. The recordkeeping by the school allows for review of
compliance with the regulations during on-site institution reviews.
The Department uses the required reporting to allow for close-out
of institutions that are no longer participating or who lose
eligibility to participate in the program.

Access Act (CCRAA)
The decrease in burden of 2,127
hours to a new total burden of 33,568 hours as identified in
section 12 is an adjustment resulting from a review of the
anticipated participation rate based on the FY 2012 budget request
and a change from the development phase of the counseling processes
by the participating institutions to the maintenance phase of the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the participating
institutions. The downward adjustment to the annualized costs of
$67,337.01 is attributed to the change from the development of
counseling tools by institutions to the review and updating of
counseling tools by the majority of the TEACH Grant program
participants.
