Read Rachel’s Grad Story below in her own words!

I am a preschool teacher in a Head Start program. I am a wife and a mother of 4-year-old twins. I made the decision to go back to school to get more education to help me with my skills in the classroom. At work, they told me about being able to get my school covered if I wanted to continue my education. That is when I learned about TEACH and what they could do for me. That is when I started my journey over three years ago to get my master’s. Over the years, TEACH has provide me with everything that I needed to go back to school and not have to take out more student loans. Three years later, I finally earned my master’s, and with TEACH, I did not have the financial burden that comes with school, and I could never thank them enough for this opportunity. I would not be here without TEACH.
