1840-AD34 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1840 Office of Postsecondary Education OPE 1800 Department of Education ED Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program

Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program, which is federally funded and State-administered, is designed to recognize exceptionally able high school seniors who show promise of continued excellence in postsecondary education. The Department has previously awarded funds to State educational agencies, which made scholarship awards to eligible applicants. Students receive scholarships for college expenses. We will take this action because this program, as part of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, has not been funded since FY10.
