The Department of Education is proposing a new information collection as part of their study on financial aid supports for GEAR UP students. This study is necessary to evaluate the scholarship component of the GEAR UP program, which aims to help students from high-poverty schools prepare for and succeed in college. Interested parties are invited to submit comments until March 12, 2021, to help the Department ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of these information collection requirements. The Department is particularly interested in feedback on the necessity, timeliness, burden, and quality of the information collected.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Education wants to check if the financial help they give to students in the GEAR UP program is working well. They are asking people to share their thoughts about it to make sure it's useful and not too hard to do.
