Name: Alabama Math and Science Teacher Education Program (AMSTEP)
Award Amount: Up to $5,000 per academic year
Information And Eligibility:
The Alabama Math and Science Teacher Education Program (AMSTEP) is a state-funded grant initiative designed to strengthen Alabama’s public education system by increasing the number of qualified math and science teachers. Administered through the Alabama Commission on Higher Education, AMSTEP provides financial support to students who are preparing to teach mathematics or science in Alabama public schools. The program plays a critical role in addressing persistent teacher shortages in high-demand subject areas such as mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, and other science disciplines.
AMSTEP is available to Alabama residents who are enrolled in approved teacher education programs at eligible colleges and universities within the state. These programs must focus on preparing students to teach math or science at the middle or secondary school level. By supporting students during their academic preparation, AMSTEP helps reduce financial barriers that might otherwise prevent qualified candidates from entering the teaching profession.
Award amounts may vary based on enrollment status, available funding, and institutional policies, with a maximum award of up to $5,000 per academic year. Grant funds may be used to assist with tuition, required fees, books, and other education-related expenses as determined by the institution. AMSTEP awards are typically coordinated through a student’s financial aid package and may be combined with other federal, state, or institutional aid.
While a formal service obligation may vary by institution, the program strongly emphasizes a commitment to teaching in Alabama public schools after graduation. Students are encouraged to view AMSTEP not only as financial assistance but also as an investment in their future careers as educators serving Alabama communities. Recipients are expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress and remain enrolled in an eligible program to continue receiving funding.
Because AMSTEP is administered through participating institutions, application procedures and award timelines may differ from campus to campus. Students interested in the program should contact their institution’s financial aid office early to confirm eligibility, application steps, and documentation requirements. Early FAFSA completion is also recommended, as financial need and aid coordination are key components of the program.
By supporting aspiring educators in critical subject areas, AMSTEP helps ensure that Alabama students have access to high-quality math and science instruction while providing meaningful financial support to future teachers during their preparation years.
