Education Major grant?

Does anyone know if there is a grant or scholarship that pays for your education if you are an education major and you agree to work in that state or something to that affect?

There are several programs for people aspiring to be teachers, depending on what state you are in. There are also programs such as AmeriCorps (education award for completing 10-12 months of service).

I did a google search:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=teacher+grant+financial+assistence+degree

and got hits for Massachusetts (up to $7500/yr), Florida (max $10,000 in loans repaid for teaching in a critical shortage area), etc. Some programs pay up front, some pay off some of your loans after you do the work, etc.

Try the same search with your state, and also contact a couple of local districts – they may know of other programs. Finally, HUD gives huge incentives for teachers to buy certain HUD homes – up to 50% off the price of your home.
