Abstract: Students receiving scholarships under section 204 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, Public Law 105-244, incur a service obligation to teach in a high-need school in a high-need local educational agency (LEA). This information collection consists of a contract to be executed when funds are awarded, subsequent addenda for students receiving funds beyond one semester/quarter/term, and a separate teaching verification form to be used by students and high-need school districts, to document the students' compliance with the contract's conditions. The Department of Education (ED) has developed an Internet based, e-authorization certified website that will allow these TQE Grants Program Scholarship forms (Scholarship Terms and Conditions and Scholarship Terms and Conditions Addendum) to be electronically submitted. This Internet-based website will escalate efficiently and will reduce a substantial paper burden of imputing these documents manually.
