Abstract: The data collection under this request are governed by
Section 304.1-304.32 of the December 9, 1999 regulations that implement
section 673(h) of the IDEA amendments of 1997 which requires that
individuals who receive a scholarship through the Personnel Preparation
Program funded under the Act subsequently provide special education and
related services to children with disabilities for a period of two
years for every year for which assistance was received. Scholarship
recipients who do not satisfy the requirements of the regulations must
repay all or part of the cost of assistance in accordance with
regulations issued by the Secretary. These regulations implement
requirements governing among other things, the service obligation for
scholars, oversight by grantees, and repayment of scholarship. In order
for the Federal government to ensure the goals of the program are
achieved, certain data collection, record keeping, and documentation
are necessary.
