The Teacher Quality Grants Program (TQGP) for higher education is a federally funded effort providing grants to higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations to promote improved instruction in mathematics and science for Texas schoolchildren by providing professional development for their teachers.
The TQGP is housed at the Charles A. Dana Center at The University of Texas at Austin. The program remains under Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board oversight.
The TQGP makes awards through a competitive review process with the most highly ranked and recommended projects being selected for funding. The RFP focuses in the areas of greatest need for teacher professional development in the state of Texas.
