Institutions are currently required to provide one year of data to demonstrate this eligibility requirement. Beginning with the next grant funding cycle, schools must provide the average for the most recent three-year period to demonstrate their eligibility. A three-year average is a more accurate portrayal of school enrollment patterns than one year. This change will allow SDS to support the grantees who have demonstrated a commitment over time to serving students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
