Reopening of Closing Date for Receipt of Applications for
Designation as an Eligible Institution for Fiscal Year (FY) 1998,
Eligibility for the Part A Strengthening Institutions and Hispanic-
Serving Institutions Program
SUMMARY: On November 13, 1997, a notice was published in the Federal
Register (62 FR 60988-60989) that established a closing date for
transmittal of applications for the FY 1998 designation of eligible
institutions for the Part A Strengthening Institutions and Hispanic-
Serving Institutions Programs. The purpose of this notice is to reopen
the closing date for the transmittal of applications and to allow
applicants additional time to establish eligibility for purposes of
receiving a waiver of certain non-Federal share requirement under the
Federal Work Study (FWS) or Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity
Grant (FSEOG) programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA).
Some institutions were unable to meet the established deadline date
for submitting eligibility applications to obtain FWS or FSEOG program
waivers. Under the reopened eligibility process, these institutions may
apply for designation as an eligible institution under Title III, Part
A of the HEA. Eligibility designation will only be for the purpose of
qualifying for a waiver of the non-Federal share requirements of FWS
and FSEOG programs.
Institutions will be notified of the outcome of the reopening of
the closing date by November 30, 1998.
