Title of Collection: Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for
Undergraduate Programs Final Performance Report.
OMB Control Number: 1840-0782.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, local, and Tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 172.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 11,180.
Abstract: The purpose of this information collection is to
determine whether recipients of Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness
for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) have made substantial progress
towards meeting the objectives of their respective projects, as
outlined in their grant applications and/or subsequent work plans. In
addition, the final report will enable the Department to evaluate each
grant project's fiscal operations for the entire grant performance
period, and compare total expenditures relative to federal funds
awarded, and actual cost-share/matching relative to the total amount in
the approved grant application. This report is a means for grantees to
share the overall experience of their projects and document
achievements and concerns, and describe effects of their projects on
participants being served; project barriers and major accomplishments;
and evidence of sustainability. The report will be GEAR UP's primary
method to collect/analyze data on students' high school graduation and
immediate college enrollment rates.
The form has been revised to include additional questions
collecting data on the scholarship component that is required by
statute.
