    Abstract: The Higher Education Opportunity Act, Public Law 110-315, 
established the allocation of Federal Work Study funds to recognize, 
encourage, and promote the use of comprehensive work-learning service 
programs as part of a financial plan which decreases reliance on grants 
and loans. The Work Colleges Program is one of the three Federal Work-
Study Programs. The other two Federal Work-Study Programs are the 
Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program and the Job Location and Development 
(JLD) Program. This is request for an extension without change of the 
current information collection. The participants are required to apply 
initially and once approved and participating, must reapply annually. 
The data collected is used by the Department to certify the Work 
Colleges agreement and collect the request for funding amount and the 
anticipated number of students for the year. The data is used in 
conjunction with institutional program reviews to assess the 
administrative capability and compliance of the applicant. There are no 
other resources for collecting this data.
