This program was designed to recognize
current HBCU students for their dedication to academics, leadership
and civic engagement. Nominees were asked to submit a nomination
package containing a signed nomination form, unofficial
transcripts, short essay, resume, and endorsement letter. Items in
this package provide the tools necessary to select current HBCU
students who are excelling academically and making differences in
their community.
This is a new collection,
therefore all burden is new. This results in a program change
increase in burden and responses of 367 hours and 105 responses
respectively.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
