Sec. 611.51  How does a grantee ensure that a scholarship recipient 

understands the terms and conditions of the scholarship before the 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--
    (1) The recipient's service obligation;
    (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
    (8) The follow-up services that the institution will provide the 
student during his or her first three years of teaching in a high-need 
school of a high-need LEA.
