What is an Agreement to Serve (ATS)?
An ATS is your agreement to meet the teaching service requirements of the TEACH Grant Program, and your promise to repay any TEACH Grant that is converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan if you do not complete the required teaching service or otherwise do not meet the requirements of the TEACH Grant Program. You must sign an ATS as a condition for receiving a TEACH Grant for the 2008-2009 award year. If you transfer to a different school within the same award year and continue to meet the eligibility requirements to receive a TEACH Grant, your ATS may be used to award additional TEACH Grants for the same award year at your new school.
