degree available in their designated 

fields of study. Institutions of higher

fellows are also required to submit an 

annual performance report to assist 

program staff in tracking time-to-degree

well as the employment status of 

individual fellows. The Department will 

use the reports to assess the program’s 

success in assisting fellows in 

completing their course of study and 

receiving their degree.
