Diversify Act

Maddy summaryThe Diversify Act expands the federal TEACH Grant program by doubling the maximum annual award to $8,000 and increasing the total grant limit to $32,000 for eligible teacher candidates. These funds can be applied directly toward a student's full cost of attendance, including tuition and fees. The bill also broadens the definition of qualifying service to include teaching in high-need early childhood education programs, not just schools with significant shortages of qualified teachers. Additionally, it prohibits the government from imposing monetary penalties if a recipient fails to complete the required teaching service and exempts the program from automatic budget cuts known as sequestration.
