TransDigm Group Employees: Unlock the Benefits of the Federal Student Grant Program for Your Family's Education

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for TransDigm Group TransDigm Group primarily collaborates with Anthem Inc. for its employee healthcare needs. Anthem offers a variety of medical, pharmacy, dental, and vision network services to ensure comprehensive coverage for TransDigm employees. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 In 2026, TransDigm Group employees may face significant healthcare cost increases due to soaring premiums in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. With some states expecting premium hikes exceeding 60%, many employees could see out-of-pocket costs rise sharply. This surge is particularly troubling as nearly 92% of ACA enrollees might experience increases of 75% or more if enhanced federal subsidies are not extended. As employers navigate these challenges, many are likely to shift more healthcare costs onto employees to mitigate their financial burdens. Click here to learn more

Most TransDigm Group employees have already heard of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, if they or someone they know has plans to attend a college, career school, or university. Last year, around 70% of families submitted a FAFSA to the Department of Education to secure financial assistance. But what many prospective and current students may overlook are the various federal grants awarded to students in need each year.

Granted value

Most federal grants, unlike loans, function as sources of funding. There are some exceptions, though. For example, if a student is awarded a grant, but withdraws from the program in which they’re enrolled, they may be required to pay back all or a portion of that grant.

Know your grants

The Department of Education offers multiple aid packages as part of the Federal Student Grant Program and all TransDigm Group employees should be aware of them. The following four are granted most often, and each has different requirements for eligibility. The information below applies to the 2023-2024 academic year:

Federal Pell Grants - With a maximum award of $6,895, Pell Grants are reserved for undergraduate students who have exceptional financial need and have not earned a bachelor’s, graduate, or professional degree yet.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEO) - FSEO Grants award a maximum of $4,000 to those who demonstrate exceptional need and have not yet earned a bachelor’s or graduate degree. FSEO Grants also give priority to Pell Grant recipients over other applicants.
Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants - These grants award a maximum of $6,895, and they’re only for students whose parent or guardian served in a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and died while serving in Iraq or Afghanistan after the events of 9/11.
Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants - TEACH Grants award a maximum of $4,000, and they’re reserved for students who are enrolled in teaching preparation programs and agree to teach for a minimum of 4 years at the elementary or secondary school level in a high-need field.
