Title of Collection: Financial Status
and Program Performance Final Report
for State and Partnership for the Gaining
Early Awareness and Readiness for
Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP).
OMB Control Number: 1840–0782.
Type of Review: A revisions of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 125.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 5,625.
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 costshare/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.

Summary of Changes
If grantees choose to serve students
for 7 years, they must report on the 7th
year of activities which include
following GEAR UP students into the
first year of postsecondary education
and any students still in high school.
The 5 hour burden increase is due to the
additional time required to collect data
on GEAR UP students enrolled in
postsecondary education.
