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. 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.

Short Statement:
According to 34 CFR Part 694, there is a small increase in burden because the Final Performance Report requires grantees awarded in 2011 who requested 7 years of GEAR UP funding to report on 7 years instead of 6 years of award activity. The 7th year reporting will describe funds spent to follow GEAR UP students into the first year of postsecondary education while also reporting on the students to be served who are also still enrolled in a GEAR UP high school. There is a decrease in the overall hours and costs because GEAR UP will have less grantees responding to the Final Performance Report Request.
