Abstract: The Higher Education 

Opportunity Act of 2008, Section 601 

requires that: ‘‘The Secretary shall assist 

grantees in developing a survey to 

administer to students who have 

completed programs under this title to 

determine postgraduate employment, 

education, or training. All grantees, 

where applicable, shall administer such 

survey once every two years and report 

survey results to the Secretary.’’ The 

first cohort of students to be surveyed 

will be the Foreign Language and Area 

Studies fellows and the Institute for 

International Public Policy fellows. The 

survey will be expanded to other 

grantees in subsequent years. This is a 

longitudinal survey that will be 

conducted every two years for a total of 

eight years for each cohort. Grantees 

will administer the survey to all fellows 

in these selected programs after they 

have graduated from the degree program 

they were enrolled in when they 

received their fellowship. Grantees will 

submit the results of the survey to the 

International for Foreign Language 

Education (IFLE) office within the U.S. 

Department of Education. IFLE will 

analyze the data and provide a report 

that will be available to the public. The 

results will be used to assess program 

impact.
