existing information collection.

Abstract: The Jacob K. Javits

Education Act of 1965, as amended and
provides up to four years of financial
assistance to students to undertake
graduate study at the doctoral and
Master of Fine Arts level in selected
fields of arts, humanities, and social
sciences. Fellows are selected on the
basis of (1) superior academic ability
demonstrated by their achievements and
exceptional promise; and (2) financial
need. The amounts of new and
continuing awards are based on a
student’s financial need as determined
by the Title IV, Part F needs analysis
system. Each individual fellow’s need
must be assessed and reported each
year, along with a continuing fellow’s
academic progress as determined by the
institution. This collection is completed
annually by grantee institutions to
report on the fellows’ progress and
levels of financial need for the next
academic year. ED uses this data to
calculate fellowship amounts and the
total grant amount sent to each
institution for each fiscal year.
