Education Grant Eligibility Regulations. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0084.

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public:

Abstract: The Teacher Education 

Assistance for College and Higher 

Education (TEACH) Grant program is a 

non-need-based grant program that 

provides up to $4,000 per year to 

students who are enrolled in an eligible 

program and who agree to teach in a 

high-need field, at a low-income 

elementary or secondary school for at 

least four years within eight years of 

completing the program for which the 

Teach Grant was awarded. The TEACH 

Grant program regulations are required 

to ensure accountability of the program 

participants, both institutions and 

student recipients, for proper program 

administration, to determine eligibility 

to receive program benefits and to 

prevent fraud and abuse of program 

funds. The regulations include both 

record-keeping and reporting 

requirements. The record-keeping by the 

school allows for review of compliance 

with the regulation during on-site 

institutional reviews. The Department 

uses the required reporting to allow for 

close-out of institutions that are no 

longer participating or who lose 

eligibility to participate in the program.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Corrections to Points Awarded for 

Competitive Preference Priorities and 

Updated Links to Two Studies; Student 

Support Services Program 

AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary 

Education, Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Overview Information: Student 

Support Services (SSS) Program; Catalog 

of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) 

Number: 84.042A. 

SUMMARY: On December 18, 2014, we 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register (79 FR 75722) inviting 

applications for new awards for fiscal 

year (FY) 2015 for the SSS Program. The 

U.S. Department of Education 

(Department) is providing corrections to 

the point allocation information for 

Competitive Preference Priority (CPP) 

1(a)—Influencing the Development of 

Non-Cognitive Factors; CPP 1(b)— 

Strategies to Influence the Development 

of Non-Cognitive Factors Supported by 

Moderate Evidence of Effectiveness; and 

CPP 2(a)—Providing Individualized 

Counseling for Personal, Career, and 

Academic Matters. In addition, the 

Department is providing updated links

DATES: Applications Available:

Applications: February 2, 2015.

Review: April 2, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 18, 2014, we published a 

notice in the Federal Register (79 FR 

75722) inviting applications for new 

awards for FY 2015 for the SSS 

Program. It has come to the 

Department’s attention that information 

regarding the point allocation for CPPs 

1(a), 1(b), and 2(a) is inaccurate. The 

December 18, 2014 notice inviting 

applications incorrectly states that ‘‘up 

to’’ one additional point is available for 

each of CPPs 1(a) and 2(a) and ‘‘up to’’ 

two additional points are available for 

CPP 1(b). Through this notice, the 

Department is providing a correction to 

CPPs 1(a), 1(b), and 2(a) by deleting the 

phrase ‘‘up to’’ from the point 

allocations for each of these CPPs. 

Under this competition, applicants will 

be able to earn one additional point for 

CPP 1(a) and two additional points for 

CPP 1(b). Additionally, under this 

competition, applicants will be able to 

earn one additional point for CPP 2(a) 

and two additional points for CPP 2(b). 

No partial points will be awarded for 

addressing any portion of the CPPs. 

Lastly, it also has come to the 

Department’s attention that the links to 

two studies associated with the CCPs 

are inoperable. Therefore, to assist 

potential applicants in responding to 

the CPPs, we are providing updated 

links to the two studies. The updated 

links are listed below:

evaluation of a randomized experiment 

in student mentoring.

All other information in the December 

18, 2014, notice remains unchanged, 

except for the CPP point corrections and 

the study link updates. The deadline for 

transmittal of applications of February 

2, 2015 and the deadline for 

intergovernmental review of April 2, 

2015 remain unchanged.

disabilities can obtain a copy of the
