with change of a previously approved 

collection of information entitled 

‘‘Application for New Awards under the

institutions of higher education and 

combinations of such institutions to 

prepare low-income, first-generation 

college students, and students from 

groups underrepresented in graduate 

education, for doctoral study.

Abstract: The data submitted 

electronically in the Fiscal Operations 

Report and Application to Participate 

through FISAP on the Web is used by 

the Department of Education to 

determine the institution’s funding need 

for the award year and monitor program 

effectiveness and accountability of fund 

expenditures. The Reallocation form is 

part of FISAP on the Web. The Higher 

Education Act of 1965, as amended 

requires that if an institution anticipates 

not using all of its allocated funds for 

the Perkins, Federal Work-Study, and 

Federal Supplemental Educational 

Opportunity Grant programs by the end 

of an award year, it must specify the 

anticipated remaining unused amount 

to the Secretary. This data collection is 

due to expire June 30, 2012. In addition 

to renewing the expiration date, 

references to dates and award years 

dates have been updated on the forms 

and in the instructions for both 

documents. Two fields were removed 

from the FISAP form due to the 

termination of the Academic 

Competitiveness Grant and National 

Science and Mathematics Access to 

Retain Talent Grant programs. 

Additional clarifications were made to 

the FISAP instructions.

Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the MEP Consortium Incentive Grants 

program is to provide incentive grants to 

State educational agencies (SEAs) that 

participate in consortia with one or 

more other SEAs or other appropriate 

entities to improve the delivery of 

services to migrant children whose 

education is interrupted. Through this 

program, the Department provides 

financial incentives to SEAs to 

participate in consortia to improve the 

intrastate and interstate coordination of 

migrant education programs by 

addressing key needs of migratory 

children who have their education 

interrupted. 

Priorities: These priorities are from 

the notice of final requirements for this 

program, published in the Federal 

Register on March 3, 2004 (69 FR 

10110), and from the notice of final 

priority, published in the Federal 

Register on March 12, 2008 (73 FR 

13217). 

Absolute Priorities: For FY 2012, these 

priorities are absolute priorities. Under 

34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only 

applications that meet one or more of 

these absolute priorities. In order for an 

SEA to be considered for an incentive 

grant, an application from a proposed 

consortium in which the SEA would 

participate must address one or more of 

the following absolute priorities: 

Priority 1: Services designed to 

improve the proper and timely 

identification and recruitment of 

eligible migratory children whose 

education is interrupted. 

Priority 2: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to improve the school 

readiness of preschool-aged migratory 

children whose education is 

interrupted. 

Priority 3: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to improve the reading 

proficiency of migratory children whose 

education is interrupted. 

Priority 4: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to improve the mathematics 

proficiency of migratory children whose 

education is interrupted. 

Priority 5: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to decrease the dropout rate of 

migratory students whose education is 

interrupted and improve their high 

school completion rate. 

Priority 6: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to strengthen the involvement 

of migratory parents in the education of 

migratory students whose education is 

interrupted. 

Priority 7: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to expand access to innovative 

educational technologies intended to 

increase the academic achievement of 

migratory students whose education is 

interrupted. 

Priority 8: Services designed (based 

on review of scientifically based 

research) to improve the educational 

attainment of out-of-school migratory 

youth whose education is interrupted.
