We at the U.S. Department of Education are committed to helping the students, teachers, and families affected by Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. We are in close contact with educational leaders in Texas and Louisiana to determine the needs of students and schools, and we stand ready to support them throughout the recovery process. We will update this site as more information becomes available.
For information on help that is already available to students attending colleges and universities in the affected areas, as well as their families, and other members of the higher education community, please visit www.ifap.ed.gov.
