For Future Teachers K-12
Cal Grant T (Program not accepting new applications)
Due to severe budget constraints the initial application process for the Cal Grant T Program was discontinued in 2003. The Governor and California State Legislature have not permitted new awards for the Cal Grant T program since the 2002-2003 academic year; however, the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) currently tracks recipients who were awarded the Cal Grant T prior to 2003.
The Cal Grant T award was designed to help post-baccalaureate students pursue their initial California teaching credential. Eligible participants who attended credential programs at colleges and universities approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) received tuition and fee assistance for up to one academic year. Prior to receiving tuition payments for their credential program, eligible participants signed a Teaching Service Agreement (TSA) which requires recipients to either;
- Provide one year of teaching service in a qualifying California public low-performing school for every $2,000 tuition received for up to 4 consecutive years
- Repay the total amount of tuition received which was not repaid through eligible teaching service.
