The Federal TEACH grant will convert into a Federal Unsubsidized Loan if you do not fulfill the teaching service requirement. You are committing to teaching in a high-need subject area in a school serving low-income students. If you are unsure about this commitment, you should contact the Office of Financial Aid to discuss other aid resources.

This is in addition to other federal student loans you may have borrowed.
