     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Diversifying by Investing in Educators and Students to Improve Outcomes For Youth Act or the Diversify Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill revises the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) grant program. The TEACH program awards grants to undergraduate and graduate students who commit to teaching in a high-need field and in an elementary or secondary school that serves low-income students. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;First, the bill raises the maximum amount for TEACH grants.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Second, the bill allows TEACH grants to cover the full cost of attendance. Currently, these grants may be used only for tuition, fees, and on-campus housing. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill allows teaching in a high-need early childhood education program to count toward service requirements for the program.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Next, the bill eliminates the process for converting a TEACH grant to a loan if a recipient does not complete the requirements of the program. Further, the bill prohibits the Department of Education (ED) from instituting or creating a monetary penalty for failure or refusal to complete the service requirement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In addition, the bill requires ED to send an electronic certificate to grant recipients who have completed their service requirement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also exempts the TEACH program from sequestration, which is a process of automatic, usually across-the-board spending reductions under which budgetary resources are permanently cancelled to enforce specific budget policy goals. &lt;/p&gt;
