• Past Teacher Quality Partnership Grants awards averaged $2.0 million; this notice allows up to $2.0 million per award.
• Most of the program's money (68% over five years) went to colleges and universities.
• The notice requires cost sharing or matching funds, so you must contribute part of the project cost.
