The U.S. Department of Education is pleased to announce the publication of Volume 9 of the 2025-2026 Federal Student Aid Handbook. This volume describes the eligibility requirements for a student to receive a TEACH Grant and the required counseling for TEACH Grant recipients, explains the terms and conditions of the TEACH Grant service obligation, and provides schools with guidance on calculating TEACH Grant awards.
The Federal Student Aid Handbook is posted digitally on Federal Student Aid’s Knowledge Center and consists of the Application and Verification Guide; nine numbered volumes; and appendices. Each time we post a volume, appendix, or errata, we will inform the community through an Electronic Announcement on the Knowledge Center.
