Almost all Relay students are enrolled half-time, and those who receive the TEACH Grant qualify for $2,000 annually. The award is subject to a federal sequester fee of 6.6% for TEACH Grants requested before October 1, 2018, which brings the total award disbursed to the student to $1868 for the year. The sequester fee for grants requested after October 1, 2018 will be 6.2%, which brings the total award disbursed to the student to $1876 for the year.
The sequester fee is taken out of the award total by the government for operational costs and does not go to Relay.
