recipient leaves the 

          teacher preparation program?



    (a) An institution that provides a scholarship with funds provided 

under this part must conduct an exit conference with each scholarship 

recipient before that individual leaves the institution. During the exit 

conference the institution must give the recipient a copy of any 

scholarship agreement the recipient has executed.

    (b) The institution also must review with the recipient the terms 

and conditions of the scholarship, including--

    (2) How the recipient can confirm whether a school and LEA in which 

he or she would teach will satisfy the service obligation;

    (3) Information that the recipient will need to have the LEA provide 

to the Department to enable the Secretary to confirm that the recipient 

is meeting the service obligation;

    (4) How the recipient may request a deferment of the service 

obligation, and information that the recipient should provide the 

Department in any deferment request;

    (5) The consequences of failing to meet the service obligation 

including, at a minimum, the amount of the recipient's potential 

indebtedness; the possible referral of the indebtedness to a collection 

firm, reporting it to a credit bureau, and litigation; and the 

availability of a monthly payment schedule;

    (6) The amount of scholarship assistance and interest charges that 

the recipient must repay for failing to meet the service obligation; and

    (7) The recipient's responsibility to ensure that the Department has 

a home address and telephone number, and a work address and telephone 

number until the Secretary has determined that the recipient has 

fulfilled the service obligation or the recipient's debt has been paid 

or discharged; and
