    Under the Troops-to-Teachers program, the Secretary of Education 

transfers funds to the Department of Defense for the Defense Activity 

for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) to provide assistance, 

including a stipend of up to $5,000, to an eligible member of the Armed 

Forces so that he or she can obtain certification or licensing as an 

elementary school teacher, secondary school teacher, or vocational/

technical teacher and become a highly qualified teacher by demonstrating 

competency in each of the subjects he or she teaches. In addition, the 

program helps the individual find employment in a high-need local 

educational agency or public charter school. In lieu of a stipend, 

DANTES may pay a bonus of $10,000 to a participant who agrees to teach 

in a high-need school.
