requesting a new APR because of the
implementation of the Higher Education

authorizing statute for the programs.
The APRs are used to evaluate the
performance of grantees prior to
awarding continuation funding and to

Department will also aggregate the data
to provide descriptive information on
the programs and to analyze the impact
of the program on the academic progress
of participating students.
