Financial Assistance & Scholarships

  • Lost Your Job and Considering Teaching?

    If you are unemployed, laid off, or lost your job due to outsourcing, you may qualify for federal grant funding to become a certified teacher.

    #TEACH is an approved provider through Michigan Training Connect, making eligible students able to receive funding through:

    WIOA

    The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act provides up to $5,000 toward tuition for qualifying individuals, including low income adults and dislocated workers.
    Funding may also cover test fees, prep materials, books, supplies, and other support services.
    These are federal grants and do not need to be repaid.

    Trade Adjustment Assistance

    If you lost your job due to overseas outsourcing, you may qualify for additional retraining benefits through TAA.
    Eligible individuals may receive paid training, income support after unemployment benefits expire, health insurance assistance, and even relocation support.

    In some cases, WIOA and TAA benefits can be combined for additional support.

    To check eligibility, contact your local Michigan Works office or call 1-800 285-WORKS and ask for the WIOA or TAA coordinator.
    Be sure to mention that T.E.A.C.H., LLC is already an approved provider.

    Your path to becoming a certified teacher may be fully funded and just one phone call away.You can also click the links below for more information:
