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. The Department of 

Education uses this data to calculate 

fellowship amounts and the total grant 

amount sent to each institution for each 

fiscal year.

the HEA, as amended. Specifically, the

recommendations regarding the accurate 

calculation and reporting of completion 

or graduation rates of entering 

certificate/degree-seeking, full-time, 

undergraduate students by two-year 

degree granting institutions of higher 

education. The Committee may also
