Diversify Act aims to improve youth outcomes by enhancing the TEACH Grants program.
The Diversify Act seeks to remove college cost barriers for students aspiring to join the educator workforce. It amends the TEACH Grants program under the Higher Education Act of 1965 by doubling the grant amount from $4,000 to $8,000 and exempting the program from sequestration. Additionally, it prohibits the Secretary from imposing monetary penalties for failure to complete the service requirement. The Act also increases the maximum annual award for TEACH Grants from $16,000 to $32,000 and expands the service requirement to include high-need early childhood education programs.
