The Teacher Shortage Conditional Grant is a program established in 2016 by the Washington State legislature with the purpose of encouraging individuals to become teachers by providing financial aid to teacher preparation program candidates who commit to teaching in designated shortage areas. Grant amounts vary depending upon financial need and funds available, with a maximum award of up to $10,000 per academic year. Award amounts are customized to fit within each recipient’s financial aid package, not to exceed financial need. In exchange for receiving the grant, recipients must teach at a Washington preK-12 public school for two school years, or fulfill the obligation in half the time by serving in a shortage area. If the recipient fails to fulfill the teaching service obligation, the grant converts to a loan.
