Opportunity Information: Apply for H98210 BAA 18 0001
The Troops to Teachers (TTT) Program is a longstanding Department of Defense education initiative created by Congress in 1993 to help eligible current and former members of the U.S. armed forces move into teaching as a second career. At its core, the program is designed to translate military experience into classroom impact by supporting the pipeline from recruitment and advising through placement and employment in schools. The opportunity emphasizes helping participants become elementary teachers, secondary teachers, and career or technical education (CTE) teachers, reflecting a practical goal of filling real instructional needs while providing a structured path into the education workforce for veterans and service members.
This grant opportunity is administered within the Department of Defense under a defined management structure. Policy, funding, and overall oversight sit with the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness, Force Education. Day-to-day operations and program management are handled by the TTT National Office, which is housed within the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES). That split is important because it signals both strategic oversight at a senior DoD education and readiness level and operational delivery through an established DoD education support organization.
The legal authority behind the program is cited as 10 USC 1154(h)(2)(A), which allows the Secretary of Defense to award grants to states, or consortia of states, to support activities that recruit eligible service members and veterans into the TTT Program and help them secure employment as teachers. In practical terms, the statute frames the federal role as enabling and resourcing state-led or multi-state efforts that connect qualified military-affiliated candidates with school systems, licensure or certification pathways, and hiring opportunities.
From the funding notice details provided, this specific announcement is a continuation opportunity (Opportunity Category: Continuation) using a grant instrument (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and falls under an education activity category (Funding Activity Category: Education). The listed CFDA number is 12.620, which identifies the federal assistance listing associated with the program. The Department of Defense is the issuing agency. The opportunity was created on October 19, 2017, with an original closing date of January 26, 2018. The award ceiling is $400,000, and the notice anticipates about 10 awards, suggesting a program structure that spreads support across multiple state or multi-state implementers rather than concentrating funding in a single recipient.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in a separate eligibility information field, but the narrative and statutory language make clear the primary intended recipients are states or consortia of states. The funded efforts are oriented toward recruiting eligible military personnel and veterans, guiding them into the teacher pipeline, and facilitating their employment in K-12 settings, including specialized career and technical education roles. Overall, the opportunity reflects a workforce transition and teacher recruitment strategy that leverages military talent to address classroom staffing needs while supporting service members and veterans in building sustainable civilian careers in education.Apply for H98210 BAA 18 0001
