TEACH Grant
Students who plan to teach may wish to consider the TEACH Grant. Please read the information below carefully as there are stringent eligibility requirements for this program.
In exchange for receiving the TEACH Grant a student must agree to serve as a full-time teacher in a high-need field at a school that serves low-income students (see below for a list of low-income schools in the U.S.). As a recipient of the grant, a student must teach at least four academic years within eight calendar years of completing their TEACH eligible program.
The TEACH Grant program provides up to $4000 for students enrolled full-time in the University of Redland's Teacher Credential Program. Students who are attending less than full-time will have the grant pro-rated accordingly.

The California Student Aid Commission has created WebGrants 4 Students (WGS) https://mygrantinfo.csac.ca.gov/logon.asp just for you, the student. The goal is to provide you with the resources, information and tools needed to assist you with the college financial aid process. WGS will allow you to manage your Cal Grant account online by letting you view updates, make school changes, make address changes, make corrections, and post leave of absence requests. It is important for you to understand that your WGS account does not replace your School or FAFSA accounts. Each account must be monitored and managed independently.
