This collection instrument is necessary because State agencies, designated by the governor of each state, must submit an application each year funding is available under the College Access Challenge Grant Program (CACGP). Applicants are required by statute to include information in the application, such as a description of the applicant's capacity to administer the grant, a plan for using grant funds, and proposed matching contributions. States must submit a viable plan to increase college access and completion for low-income students and a comprehensive outline of proposed expenditures.
