Purpose of Workshop: The Department of Education will conduct
technical assistance workshops to assist prospective applicants in

authorized by title VII, part A, subpart 2, of the Higher Education Act
of 1965, as amended, 20 U.S.C. 1135-1135e. The workshops will provide
information on how to develop application narratives in accordance with
the program selection criteria, as well as on program regulations and
grant administration. Three technical assistance workshops have been
scheduled for the Spring and Summer 2002. This will allow prospective
applicants sufficient time to develop proposals for the FY 2003
