Emma Said:

Is it true that only postgrad students eligible for Pell Grant's are those pursuing a teaching career?

We Answered:

i'm a teacher and they did not allow pell for graduate work. its all fellowships, assistantships, associateships and loans after you get that bachelor's.

Anita Said:

college major/ career? teaching?

We Answered:

first, check into teacher licensing for your state. Then find an NCATE accredited School of Ed in a university.

You might be able to (if you do NOT take more than 18 credits in education) apply for (about 20% acceptance rate) to the NYC Teaching Fellows program. You get a job, a free masters degree, but you have ot teach in NYC Public Schools for 3 years. You sit for the NYS license.

There is also a similar program in Chicago, and perhaps in other major cities.

The country needs dedicated young teachers, so go for it!
