the Grants.gov system later than 4:30 

p.m., Washington, DC time, on the

Washington, DC time on the application 

deadline date. 

• The amount of time it can take to 

upload an application will vary 

depending on a variety of factors 

including the size of the application and 

the speed of your Internet connection. 

Therefore, we strongly recommend that 

you do not wait until the application 

deadline date to begin the submission 

process through Grants.gov. 

• You should review and follow the 

Education Submission Procedures for 

submitting an application through 

Grants.gov that are included in the

ensure that you submit your application 

in a timely manner to the Grants.gov 

system. You can also find the Education

steps in the Grants.gov registration 

process (see http://www.grants.gov/ 

GetStarted) and provide on your 

application the same D–U–N–S Number 

used with this registration. Please note 

that the registration process may take 

five or more business days to complete. 

• You will not receive additional 

point value because you submit your 

application in electronic format, nor 

will we penalize you if you qualify for 

an exception to the electronic 

submission requirement, as described 

elsewhere in this section, and submit 

your application in paper format. 

• You must submit all documents 

electronically, including all information 

typically included on the Application 

for Federal Education Assistance (SF 

424), Budget Information—NonConstruction Programs (ED 524), and all 

necessary assurances and certifications. 

You must attach any narrative sections 

of your application as files in a .DOC 

(document), .RTF (rich text), or .PDF 

(Portable Document) format. If you 

upload a file type other than the three 

file types specified above or submit a 

password protected file, we will not 

review that material. 

• Your electronic application must 

comply with any page limit 

requirements described in this notice. 

• After you electronically submit 

your application, you will receive an 

automatic acknowledgment from 

Grants.gov that contains a Grants.gov 

tracking number. The Department will 

retrieve your application from 

Grants.gov and send you a second 

confirmation by e-mail that will include 

a PR/Award number (an ED-specified 

identifying number unique to your 

application). 

• We may request that you provide us 

original signatures on forms at a later 

date. 

Application Deadline Date Extension 

in Case of Technical Issues with the 

Grants.gov System: If you are prevented 

from electronically submitting your 

application on the application deadline 

date because of technical problems with 

the Grants.gov system, we will grant you 

an extension until 4:30 p.m., 

Washington, DC time, the following 

business day to enable you to transmit 

your application electronically, or by 

hand delivery. You also may mail your 

application by following the mailing 

instructions as described elsewhere in 

this notice. If you submit an application 

after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on 

the deadline date, please contact either 

of the persons listed elsewhere in this 

notice under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT, and provide an explanation of 

the technical problem you experienced 

with Grants.gov, along with the 

Grants.gov Support Desk Case Number 

(if available). We will accept your 

application if we can confirm that a 

technical problem occurred with the 

Grants.gov system and that that problem 

affected your ability to submit your 

application by 4:30 p.m., Washington, 

DC time, on the application deadline 

date. The Department will contact you 

after a determination is made on 

whether your application will be 

accepted. 

Note: Extensions referred to in this section 

apply only to the unavailability of or 

technical problems with the Grants.gov 

system. We will not grant you an extension 

if you failed to fully register to submit your 

application to Grants.gov before the deadline 

date and time or if the technical problem you 

experienced is unrelated to the Grants.gov 

system. 

Exception to Electronic Submission 

Requirement: You qualify for an

which of the two grounds for an 

exception prevent you from using the 

Internet to submit your application. If 

you mail your written statement to the 

Department, it must be postmarked no 

later than two weeks before the 

application deadline date. If you fax 

your written statement to the

before the application deadline date.

V. Application Review Information 

1. Selection Criteria: The selection 

criteria for this program competition are 

in 34 CFR 643.21 and are discussed in 

greater detail in the application package. 

Note: Under the ‘‘Objectives’’ selection 

criterion, 34 CFR 643.21(b), applicants must 

address both outcome and process objectives 

that are related to each of the purposes of the 

TS program in 34 CFR 643.1. The application 

package for this program specifies the 

following five objectives related to the 

purposes of the TS program: Increasing 

secondary school promotion, increasing 

secondary school graduation, increasing 

applications for student financial aid, 

increasing applications for postsecondary 

education admissions, and increasing 

postsecondary education enrollment. The 

Talent Search Program Profile page in the 

application package details more specific 

information that applicants must submit 

regarding these five objectives. Applicants 

may, but are not required to, develop 

additional objectives for their project. 

2. Review and Selection Process: The 

Secretary will select an application for 

funding in rank-order, based on the 

application’s total score for the selection 

criteria and prior experience, pursuant 

to 34 CFR 643.20 through 643.22. If 

there are insufficient funds for two or 

more applications with the same total 

scores, the Secretary will choose among 

the tied applications so as to serve 

geographical areas and eligible 

populations that have been underserved 

by the TS Program. 

VI. Award Administration Information 

1. Award Notices: If your application 

is successful, we notify your U.S. 

Representative and U.S. Senators and 

send you a Grant Award Notice (GAN). 

We may also notify you informally. 

If your application is not evaluated or 

not selected for funding, we notify you. 

2. Administrative and National Policy 

Requirements: We identify 

administrative and national policy 

requirements in the application package 

and reference these and other 

requirements in the Applicable 

Regulations section of this notice. 

We reference the regulations outlining 

the terms and conditions of an award in 

the Applicable Regulations section of 

this notice and include these and other 

specific conditions in the GAN. The 

GAN also incorporates your approved 

application as part of your binding 

commitments under the grant. 

3. Reporting: At the end of your 

project period, you must submit a final 

performance report including financial 

information as directed by the Secretary. 

If you receive a multi-year award, you 

must provide an annual performance 

report that provides the most current 

performance and financial expenditures 

information as specified by the 

Secretary in 34 CFR 75.118. 

4. Performance Measures: The success 

of the TS Program is measured by the 

TS Program participants’ success in 

increasing secondary school 

promotions, secondary school 

graduations, applications for student 

financial aid, applications for 

postsecondary education admissions, 

and postsecondary education 

enrollment. All TS Program grantees 

will be required to submit an annual 

performance report.
