Abstract: This information is required of States in order for the Secretary of Education to carry out the Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) Program to implement provisions of the Higher Education At of 1965 (HEA), as amended by the Higher Education Reconciliation Act of 2005 (HERA). The information will be used to determine whether the Secretary may recognize as rigorous, secondary school programs of study proposed by individual Individual State Educational Agency (SEA) or, if legally authorized by the State to establish a separate secondary school program of study, a Local Educational Agency (LEA). Participation in a rigorous secondary school program of study may qualify a post secondary student to receive an ACG, if otherwise eligible.
