requesting a new APR because of the 

implementation of the Higher Education 

Opportunity Act revisions to the Higher

authorizing statute for the programs. 

The APRs are used to evaluate the 

performance of grantees prior to

assess a grantee’s prior experience at the 

end of each budget period. The 

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.
