Opportunity Information: Apply for H98210 BAA 18 0002
The Troops to Teachers (TTT) grant opportunity is a Department of Defense education program designed to help eligible current and former members of the U.S. armed forces transition into second careers in K-12 teaching. First enacted by Congress in 1993, the program focuses on two connected goals: recruiting qualified service members and veterans into the teaching pipeline, and then helping them actually secure jobs as teachers in elementary schools, secondary schools, and career or technical education settings. In practical terms, the grant supports outreach and recruitment efforts as well as the placement and employment assistance needed to move participants from military service into classrooms.
Program oversight sits within the Department of Defense. Policy, funding decisions, and overall oversight are handled by the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness, Force Education. Day-to-day program operations are managed by the Troops to Teachers National Office, which is housed within DANTES (the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support). The legal authority for making these grants comes from 10 USC 1154(h)(2)(A), which allows the Secretary of Defense to issue grants to states or consortia of states specifically to support recruitment of eligible service members/veterans into the TTT program and to facilitate their employment as teachers.
