| E9-25973 | Federal Student Financial Assistance Programs Under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as Amended | Notice | The Secretary of Education invites institutions of higher education that participate in the student assistance programs authorized under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA), or consortiums of such institutions, to propose ideas for institutionally based experiments designed to test new ways of administering the student financial assistance programs authorized by title IV of the HEA (the Title IV, HEA programs). This effort is called the Experimental Sites Initiative (ESI). This notice is the first of two notices that the Secretary will publish regarding the ESI. Under section 487A(b) of the HEA, the Secretary has the authority to grant waivers from specific Title IV, HEA statutory or regulatory requirements to allow institutions to test alternative methods for administering the Title IV, HEA programs. Such institutions are referred to in the HEA as "experimental sites". The Secretary seeks suggestions on how best to use this authority to reduce burden in the administration of the Title IV, HEA programs. Consistent with section 487A(b) of the HEA, the Secretary cannot waive requirements related to need analysis, award rules, and grant and loan maximum award amounts. However, the Secretary anticipates approving experiments in a wide variety of other areas. The Secretary is particularly interested in suggestions for experiments that might produce stronger academic outcomes for students, such as improved persistence, shorter time to degree, and reduced reliance on outside work. After reviewing the suggestions submitted by institutions as a result of this notice and constructing an evaluation design for approved experiments, the Secretary will publish a second notice in the Federal Register announcing approved experiments as well as the implementation and evaluative criteria for each approved experiment. The subsequent notice will invite institutions to apply to participate in one or more of those experiments, with preference given to the institution(s) that submitted the original suggestion. | 2009-10-28 | 2009 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/10/28/E9-25973/federal-student-financial-assistance-programs-under-title-iv-of-the-higher-education-act-of-1965-as | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-10-28/pdf/E9-25973.pdf | Education Department | 126 | The Secretary of Education invites institutions of higher education that participate in the student assistance programs authorized under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA), or consortiums of such institutions, to propose... |
