Teacher Education Competitive Grant Program
The Kansas Teacher Education Competitive Grant Program (KTECGP) was established through Kansas House Bill 2185 (2007) to increase the number of licensed teachers in hard-to-fill disciplines and/or underserved geographic areas of the state.
The Kansas Board of Regents administers this grant in which the six state universities and Washburn University are eligible to apply for funds. Institutions may use grant funds to create a new teacher education program or expand an existing program and must match grant funds on the basis of $1 from the institution to every $2 received from the grant. In the 2021 round, applicants were asked to create this program in partnership with at least one Kansas community college to develop new transfer pathways for future educators.
This initiative, which provides resources to institutions, is contingent upon funds available in the Teacher Service Scholarship Program, which provides financial support for students pursuing teaching careers in Kansas. The chart below outlines the projects and funds awarded.
Grant programs will be reviewed each January and funds are reallocated based on each program's success & areas of growth.

PERFORMANCE REPORTS
To be eligible for new state funds all technical colleges, community colleges, state universities, Washburn University, and Washburn Institute of Technology annually submit a performance report. Staff reviews the reports and suggests revisions, as needed. The Board Academic Affairs Standing Committee (BAASC) generally reviews performance reports at meetings held between September and December. The full Board typically acts on performance reports at its December or January meeting. Staff will email performance reporting forms to institutions.
