This grant is available to full-time and less than full-time students. The Federal Government recently passed into law a provision which limits a student's lifetime eligibility to 12 semesters (or its equivalent).
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

Federal TEACH Grant
The TEACH Grant program provides up to $4,000 a year in grant assistance to an undergraduate or graduate student who agrees to serve for at least four years as a full-time teacher in a high-need field in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families. A TEACH Grant recipient who does not complete their required teaching requirement within a specified time frame or fails to meet certain other requirements of the TEACH Grant program will be required to repay the TEACH Grant as a direct unsubsidized loan under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. For more information visit the TEACH Grant program website at www.teachgrant.ed.gov.
