Abstract: Information is collected under authority of Parts 608 and 609, of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The information collection of this discretionary grant application package falls under the Streamlining Plan OMB Number 1894-0001. The collection of information is gathered in two phases: Phase I - Formula Data and Phase II - The Project Plan. The collection of information is for the purpose of obtaining institutional and budgetary information needed to evaluate applications. Phase I will continue to be submitted by way of facsimile. Both phases are submitted individually by a select number of eligible institutions of higher education. Both phases have separate closing dates. The two-page Phase I – Formula Data that is collected is used to determine the amount of individual grants based on a prescribed formula.
