Title of Collection: Annual 

Performance Report and Certification of 

Financial Need for the Jacob K. Javits 

Fellowship Program. 

OMB Control Number: 1840–0630. 

Type of Review: An extension of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private 

Sector. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 51. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 204. 

Abstract: The Jacob K. Javits 

Fellowship Program is authorized by 

Title VII, Part A, Subpart 1 of the Higher 

Education Act of 1965, as amended and 

provides up to four years of financial 

assistance to students to undertake 

graduate study at the doctoral and 

Master of Fine Arts level in selected 

fields of arts, humanities, and social 

sciences. Fellows are selected on the 

basis of (1) superior academic ability 

demonstrated by their achievements and 

exceptional promise; and (2) financial 

need. The amounts of new and 

continuing awards are based on a 

student’s financial need as determined 

by the Title IV, Part F needs analysis 

system. Each individual fellow’s need 

must be assessed and reported each 

year, along with a continuing fellow’s 

academic progress as determined by the 

institution. This collection is completed 

annually by grantee institutions to 

report on the fellows’ progress and 

levels of financial need for the next 

academic year. ED uses this data to 

calculate fellowship amounts and the 

total grant amount sent to each 

institution for each fiscal year.
