DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Direct Grant and Fellowship Programs
AGENCY: Department of Education
ACTION: Notice reopening application deadline dates for certain direct
grant and fellowship programs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary reopens the deadline dates for the submission of
applications by certain applicants (see ELIGIBILITY) under certain
direct grant and fellowship programs. All of the affected competitions
are among those under which the Secretary is making new awards for
fiscal year (FY) 2003. The Secretary takes this action to allow more
time for the preparation and submission of applications by potential
applicants adversely affected by severe weather conditions resulting
from the typhoon in Guam and the severe ice storm in North Carolina.
The reopenings are intended to help these potential applicants compete
fairly with other applicants under these programs.
Note: One of the affected programs or competitions is
administered by the Department's Office of Elementary and Secondary
Education and two are administered by the Office of Postsecondary
Education. You can find information related to each of these
competitions under the ``List of Programs Affected'' in this notice.
ELIGIBILITY: The reopening of deadline dates in this notice applies to
you if you are a potential applicant from Guam which was severely
affected by the recent typhoon or if you are a potential applicant in
an area of North Carolina that the President has declared a disaster
area as a result of the severe ice storm. In the case of the Jacob K.
Javits Fellowship Program, the reopening of the deadline date applies
to you if you live in or attend an institution of higher education in
one of these areas. These areas include the following:
