    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: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 134.

    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.
