UAB has been awarded the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

Federal TEACH Grants
The Federal TEACH Grant provides funds for students pursuing a degree in specific education programs. The program provides grant funds for postsecondary students who are completing coursework in a federally designated critical-need area of education and agree to serve for at least four years as a full-time, highly qualified teacher in a low-income school. Eligible students may receive up to $4,000 per year in TEACH Grant funds. Failure to complete the four-year service agreement will result in the grant being converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford/Ford Loan that you must repay in full, with interest accruing from the time of disbursement.
State Grant Programs
Through the Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE), the state of Alabama offers additional options for Alabama residents.
