Golden State Teacher Grant
The Golden State Teacher Grant Program application has re-opened for the 2024-2025 academic year (Fall 2024, Spring 2025, Summer 2025). Due to recent state budget changes, updates from CSAC may impact eligibility, and we will share those details as we receive them.
To stay informed about the opening of the 2025-2026 GSTG application, please join CSAC's interest list here.
The Golden State Teacher Grant Program (GSTG) awards students currently enrolled in a professional preparation program approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) and working towards earning their preliminary teaching or pupil personnel services credential. For more information, please visit CSAC's site here: https://gstg.csac.ca.gov/.
Payment Contingency:
The Golden State Teacher Grant awards are subject to the availability of funds. They are processed on a first-come, first-served basis for eligible applicants who have submitted a signed Service Agreement (SA). In the event of insufficient funds, the last grant recipient may receive a partial award of the remaining funds.
