Abstract: The Jacob K. Javits Fellowship Program is authorized by Title VII, Part A, Subpart 1 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended and provides up to four years of financial assistance to students to undertake graduate study at the doctoral and Master of Fine Arts level in selected fields of arts, humanities, and social sciences. Fellows are selected on the basis of 1) superior academic ability demonstrated by their achievements and exceptional promise; and 2) financial need. The amounts of new and continuing awards are based on a student's financial need as determined by the Title IV, Part F needs analysis system. Each individual fellow's need must be assessed and reported each year, along with a continuing fellow's academic progress as determined by the institution. This collection is completed annually by grantee institutions to report on the fellows' progress and levels of financial need for the next academic year. ED uses this data to calculate fellowship amounts and the total grant amount sent to each institution for each fiscal year.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: A reduction in burden occurred in this information collection as a result of a decrease in the number of Javits grantees receiving non-competing continuation institutional awards since the collection was last approved in 2010. The last Javits Program fellowship competition was held in FY 2011. Therefore, no new institutional awards have been made since that time, which decreased the number of continuing grantees required to report annually. As individual Javits fellows attending these institutions complete their degree programs and no longer need funding, the number of remaining grantees further decreases. Since the last collection was approved, the number of respondents decreased from 100 to 51.
