Institutions (PBI) Programs
AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary Education, Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice reopening the application for eligibility for AANAPISI,
NASNTI, HSI-STEM, and PBI fiscal year (FY) 2010 competitions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On December 7, 2009, we published in the Federal Register (74
FR 64059-64062) a notice inviting applications for eligibility for the
programs authorized under Titles III and Title V of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended (FY 2010 Eligibility Notice). The FY
2010 Eligibility Notice established a January 6, 2010 deadline date for
applicants to apply for designation as an eligible institution under
the Title III and Title V programs.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this notice, the Department announces the
reopening of the period for submitting an application for a designation
of eligibility. This reopening of the application period applies only
to those institutions that intend to apply for new awards in
competitions to be announced this fall under the AANAPISI, NASNTI, HSI-
STEM, and PBI programs. This limited reopening is intended to ensure
that all potential applicants to the AANAPISI, NASNTI, HSI-STEM, and
PBI programs have the opportunity to submit applications for
eligibility prior to the announcement of these competitions. (While
HSI-STEM was not included in the FY 2010 Eligibility Notice, it has
been added to this notice due to funds made available by the Student
Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act.) If you have already submitted an
application for eligibility based on the FY 2010 Eligibility Notice and
were designated as eligible, you do not need to resubmit your
application. Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: September 13,
2010.
Note: Applications for designation of eligibility must be
submitted electronically using the following Web site: https://opeweb.ed.gov/title3and5.
