1To account for the Administration's ESEA reauthorization proposal, the 2015 Budget eliminates the $1.7 billion advance appropriation
that was previously in the Education Improvement Programs account and replaces it with corresponding increases to advance
appropriations in the Accelerating Achievement and Ensuring Equity account ($841 million) and the Special Education account
($841 million). Total advance appropriations in the Department of Education remain $22.6 billion.
The Administration is proposing legislation reauthorizing programs included in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
(ESEA), including programs in this account. Consistent with this reauthorization proposal, the Budget proposes to realign
programs in ESEA accounts. When new authorizing legislation is enacted, resources will be requested for these programs. See
the "Legislative proposal, not subject to PAYGO" schedule for additional details.

The resources in this schedule are proposed for later transmittal under proposed legislation to reauthorize the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
College- and career-ready students (formerly Grants to local educational agencies).—Funds would be allocated via formula for programs that provide academic support to help students in high-poverty schools
meet college- and career-ready standards. States would assess annually all students in certain grades in at least English
language arts and mathematics, and use the results of these assessments to measure local educational agency (LEA) and school
progress in ensuring that all students are meeting, or are on track to meet college- and career-ready standards; to inform
families about whether their children are meeting or are on track to meet such standards; and to develop appropriate improvement
and support strategies for schools and LEAs. States would establish systems for differentiating among schools and LEAs on
the basis of performance, including recognition and rewards for highly effective schools and LEAs, the implementation of rigorous
school intervention models in the lowest-achieving schools, and State-approved, research-based interventions in low-performing
schools that are not serving their students well.
School turnaround grants.—Funds would primarily support formula grants to States to help LEAs turn around their lowest-achieving schools by implementing
rigorous school intervention models. In general, such schools would rank in the bottom five percent of performance in their
States based on proficiency rates and lack of progress or, in the case of high schools, have a graduation rate below 60 percent.
Once States have served their lowest-achieving schools, funds could be used for other school improvement and support efforts
in eligible schools.
State agency migrant program.—Funds would support formula grants to States for educational services to children of migratory farmworkers and fishers,
with resources and services focused on children who have moved within the past 36 months.
State agency neglected and delinquent children and youth education program.—Funds would support formula grants to States for educational services to neglected or delinquent children and youth in State-run
institutions, attending community day programs, and in other correctional facilities.
Homeless children and youth education.—Funds would support formula grants to States to provide educational and support services that enable homeless children and
youth to attend and achieve success in school.

Act of 1965, $500,000,000, for obligation through December 31, 2015, for a preschool development grants program: Provided,
That the Secretary shall use all funds made available under this heading to make competitive awards to States, local education
agencies, or local governmental entities (as determined by the Secretary) for activities that build the capacity within the
State to develop, enhance, or expand high-quality preschool programs, including comprehensive services and family engagement,
for preschool-aged children from families at or below 200 percent of the Federal poverty line: Provided further, That the
Secretary may permit or require States, local education agencies, or local governmental entities to subgrant a portion of
grant funds to local educational agencies or other early learning providers (including, but not limited to, Head Start programs
and licensed child care providers), or consortia thereof, for the implementation of high-quality preschool programs for children
from families at or below 200 percent of the Federal poverty line: Provided further, That subgrantees that are local educational
agencies shall form strong partnerships with early learning providers and that subgrantees that are early learning providers
shall form strong partnerships with local educational agencies, in order to carry out the requirements of the subgrant: Provided
further, That, notwithstanding the second proviso, up to 3 percent of such funds for preschool development grants shall be
available for technical assistance, evaluation, and other national activities related to such grants.

Preschool for all.—Funds would support grants to States for the implementation of high-quality preschool programs that are aligned with elementary
and secondary education systems. The Department would share costs with States to provide universal access to high-quality
preschool for children from low and moderate income families and provide incentives for States to serve additional children
from middle-class families.

The resources in this schedule are proposed for later transmittal under proposed legislation to reauthorize the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
Impact Aid helps to replace the lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to educate federally connected children.
The presence of certain students living on Federal property, such as students who are military dependents or who reside on
Indian lands, can place a financial burden on local educational agencies (LEAs) that educate them. The property on which the
children live and their parents work is exempt from local property taxes, denying local educational agencies access to the
primary source of revenue used by most communities to finance education.
Basic support payments.—Payments will be made on behalf of approximately 930,000 federally connected students enrolled in about 1,150 LEAs to assist
them in meeting their operation and maintenance costs. Average per-student payments will be approximately $1,200.
Payments for children with disabilities.—Payments in addition to those provided under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) will be provided on
behalf of approximately 55,000 federally connected students with disabilities in about 900 LEAs. Average per-student payments
will be approximately $900.
Facilities maintenance.—Funds will be used to provide emergency repairs for school facilities that serve military dependents and are owned by the
Department of Education. Funds will also be used to transfer the facilities to LEAs.
Construction.—Approximately 8–12 construction grants will be awarded competitively to the highest-need Impact Aid LEAs for emergency repairs
and modernization of school facilities.

1To account for the Administration's ESEA reauthorization proposal, the 2015 Budget eliminates the $1.7 billion advance appropriation
that was previously in the School Improvement Programs account (renamed the Education Improvement Programs account) and replaces
it with corresponding increases to advance appropriations in the Education for the Disadvantaged account ($841 million, renamed
the Accelerating Achievement and Ensuring Equity account) and the Special Education account ($841 million). Total advance
appropriations in the Department of Education remain $22.6 billion.
The Administration is proposing legislation reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), including programs
in this account. Consistent with this reauthorization proposal, the Budget proposes to realign programs in ESEA accounts.
When new authorizing legislation is enacted, resources will be requested for these programs. See the "Legislative proposal,
not subject to PAYGO" schedule for additional details.
Training and advisory services._Funds support grants to regional equity assistance centers that provide technical assistance to local educational agencies
(LEAs) in addressing educational equity related to issues of race, gender, and national origin.
Supplemental education grants._Funds support grants to the Federated States of Micronesia and to the Republic of the Marshall Islands in place of grant programs
in which those Freely Associated States no longer participate pursuant to the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of
2003.
Comprehensive centers._Funds support 22 comprehensive centers that focus on building State capacity to help school districts and schools meet the
requirements of the ESEA.

The resources in this schedule are proposed for later transmittal under proposed legislation to reauthorize the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
Effective teaching and learning: literacy.—Funds would support competitive grants to States to support the development and implementation of comprehensive State and
local efforts to provide high-quality literacy programs, aligned with college- and career-ready English-language arts standards,
for students from preschool through grade 12.
Effective teaching and learning for a well-rounded education.—Funds would support competitive grants to States and high-need LEAs to develop and expand innovative practices to improve
teaching and learning in the arts, health education, foreign languages, civics and government, history, geography, environmental
education, economics, financial literacy, and other subjects.
College pathways and accelerated learning.—Funds would support competitive grants to high-need LEAs for programs that prepare students to enter and succeed in college
by providing college-level and other accelerated courses and instruction in middle and high schools as well as accelerated
learning opportunities in elementary schools.
Assessing achievement.—Funds would support formula and competitive grants to States to develop and implement assessments that are aligned with college-
and career-ready academic standards.
Rural education.—Funds would support formula grants under two programs: the Small, Rural School Achievement program and the Rural and Low-Income
School program. The Small, Rural School Achievement program provides rural LEAs with small enrollments with additional formula
funds. Funds under the Rural and Low-Income School program, which targets rural LEAs that serve concentrations of poor students,
are allocated by formula to States, which in turn allocate funds to eligible LEAs.
Native Hawaiian student education.—Funds would support competitive grants to public and private entities to develop or operate innovative projects that enhance
the educational services provided to Native Hawaiian children and adults.
Alaska Native student education.—Funds would support competitive grants to LEAs and other public and private organizations to develop or operate innovative
projects that enhance the educational services provided to Alaska Native children and adults.

The resources in this schedule are proposed for later transmittal under proposed legislation to reauthorize the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
Promise neighborhoods.—Funds would support competitive grants and other activities for projects designed to improve significantly the educational
and developmental outcomes of children within the Nation's most distressed communities, with the goal of transforming those
communities so that all children in the community have access to a cradle-through-college-to-career continuum of academic
programs and community supports, including effective schools and services. Promise Neighborhoods is also a central component
of the Administration's Promise Zones—high-poverty communities where the Federal Government will engage more directly with
local leaders to break down barriers and help them access the resources and expertise they need to create jobs, leverage private
investment, increase economic activity, reduce violence, and expand educational opportunities.
Successful, safe, and healthy students.—Funds would support competitive grants and other activities to assist States, local educational agencies (LEAs), and partnerships
between LEAs and non-profit organizations or local government entities in improving school climate; reducing or preventing
drug use, violence, bullying, or harassment; and promoting and supporting the physical and mental well-being of students so
that schools are safe, healthy, and drug-free environments. Funds would also support a variety of school safety initiatives
in Now Is The Time, the President's plan to protect our children and our communities by reducing gun violence, including efforts to create positive
school climates and to counter the effects of pervasive violence on students.
21st century community learning centers.—Funds would support competitive grants to States, LEAs, nonprofit organizations, or local governmental entities for projects
that provide the additional time, support, and enrichment activities needed to improve student achievement, including projects
that support expanding learning time by significantly increasing the number of hours in a regular school schedule and by comprehensively
redesigning the school schedule for all students in a school. Projects could also provide teachers the time they need to collaborate,
plan, and engage in professional development within and across grades and subjects.

The resources in this schedule are proposed for later transmittal under proposed legislation to reauthorize the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
Race to the top: equity and opportunity.—Funds would support competitive grants centered on increasing the academic performance of high-need students and closing
achievement gaps. Grants would be used to help link together State and local fiscal, student achievement, and human resource
data systems, allowing schools to identify and address the needs of underserved students by improving access to high-quality
teachers and leaders, rigorous coursework, and other evidence-based supports. The program would build on reforms implemented
under previous Race to the Top competitions and ESEA flexibility, while also improving the use and effectiveness of resources
from other Federal programs such as Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies and State Longitudinal Data Systems.
Investing in innovation.—Funds would support grants to local educational agencies (LEAs) or to nonprofit organizations in partnership with one or
more LEAs or a consortium of schools to develop and expand innovative strategies and practices that have been shown to be
effective in improving educational outcomes for students. A portion of the funds would be used to launch the Advanced Research
Projects Agency—Education, which would pursue breakthrough developments in educational technologies and other strategies for
raising achievement.
STEM innovation.—Funds would support competitive grants to consortia of LEAs in partnership with institutions of higher education (IHEs),
businesses, science agencies, or other entities. These public-private partnerships would harness local, regional, and national
resources to transform STEM teaching and learning by implementing innovative evidence-based practices that improve teacher
effectiveness and student engagement and achievement. Funds would also support a STEM Teacher Pathways program, a STEM Master
Teacher Corps, and the Effective Teaching and Learning: STEM program.
High school redesign.—Funds would support competitive grants to transform teaching and learning in high schools by encouraging partnerships among
LEAs, IHEs, businesses, and other entities to enhance instruction and provide career-related experiences to students, helping
them prepare for college and careers. Grantees would leverage new and existing federal, State, and local resources to create
learning models that are rigorous, relevant, and better focused on real-world experiences while incorporating personalized
learning, work- and project-based learning, and career and college exploration.
Effective teachers and leaders State grants.—Funds would support formula grants to States and LEAs to promote and enhance the teaching profession; recruit, prepare,
develop, reward, and retain effective and highly effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders and foster excellent
instructional teams, especially in high-need LEAs, schools, fields, and subjects; ensure the equitable distribution of effective
and highly effective teachers and principals; increase the effectiveness of teachers and principals; strengthen teacher and
principal evaluation systems; ensure that teachers have the knowledge, skills, data, support, and collaborative opportunities
needed to be effective in the classroom; and improve the management of the education workforce in States and LEAs. The Department
would reserve up to 10 percent of the appropriation for this program to build evidence on how to best recruit, train, and
support effective teachers and school leaders and invest in efforts to enhance the teaching and leadership professions.
ConnectEDucators.—Funds would support investments in high-quality professional development and instructional resources to help educators as
they transition to using technology and data to improve student learning, as enabled by the Administration's ConnectED initiative
to expand access to broadband and wireless networks in schools and libraries.
Teacher and leader innovation fund.—Funds would support competitive grants to States and LEAs willing to implement bold approaches to improving the effectiveness
of the education workforce in high-need schools and districts by creating the conditions needed to identify, reward, retain,
and advance effective teachers, principals, and school leadership teams in those schools, and enabling schools to build the
strongest teams possible.
School leadership.—Funds would support competitive grants to States, high-need LEAs, nonprofit organizations, and IHEs, to assist high-need
LEAs in recruiting and training principals (including assistant principals) through such activities as professional development
programs in leading the transition to college- and career-ready standards, evaluating and providing feedback to teachers,
developing school leadership teams, and creating a positive school climate.
Expanding educational options.—Funds would support competitive grants to States, charter school authorizers, charter management organizations, LEAs, and
other nonprofit organizations to start or expand high-performing charter and other autonomous public schools in high-need
areas.
Magnet schools assistance.—Funds would support competitive grants to LEAs to establish and operate magnet school programs that are part of an approved
desegregation plan.
Fund for the improvement of education: programs of national significance.—Funds would support nationally significant projects to improve the quality of elementary and secondary education, including
an interagency initiative to strengthen services provided to disconnected youth, partnerships between districts and researchers
to support non-cognitive interventions, and continuation of efforts to improve the quality, analysis, and reporting of elementary
and secondary education performance data.

that English Learners are making progress toward proficiency in English and meeting the same high State academic standards
as all other students. Funds also support national activities, including professional development, evaluation, a national
information clearinghouse on English language acquisition, and technical assistance to grantees and funding for demonstration
projects to replicate proven practices.

For carrying out the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Special Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act
of 2004, [$12,497,300,000] $12,600,627,000, of which [$2,981,201,000] $2,243,808,000 shall become available on July 1, [2014] 2015, and shall remain available through September 30, [2015] 2016, and of which [$9,283,383,000] $10,124,103,000 shall become available on October 1, [2014] 2015, and shall remain available through September 30, [2015] 2016, for academic year [2014–2015] 2015–2016: Provided, That the amount for section 611(b)(2) of the IDEA shall be equal to the lesser of the amount available for that activity
during fiscal year [2013] 2014, increased by the amount of inflation as specified in section 619(d)(2)(B) of the IDEA, or the percent change in the funds
appropriated under section 611(i) of the IDEA after reserving funds described in the 12th proviso, but not less than the amount for that activity during fiscal year [2013] 2014: Provided further, That the Secretary shall, without regard to section 611(d) of the IDEA, distribute to all other States (as that term is
defined in section 611(g)(2)), subject to the third proviso, any amount by which a State's allocation under section 611(d),
from funds appropriated under this heading, is reduced under section 612(a)(18)(B), according to the following: 85 percent
on the basis of the States' relative populations of children aged 3 through 21 who are of the same age as children with disabilities
for whom the State ensures the availability of a free appropriate public education under this part, and 15 percent to States
on the basis of the States' relative populations of those children who are living in poverty: Provided further, That the Secretary may not distribute any funds under the previous proviso to any State whose reduction in allocation from
funds appropriated under this heading made funds available for such a distribution: Provided further, That the States shall allocate such funds distributed under the second proviso to local educational agencies in accordance
with section 611(f): Provided further, That the amount by which a State's allocation under section 611(d) of the IDEA is reduced under section 612(a)(18)(B) and
the amounts distributed to States under the previous provisos in fiscal year 2012 or any subsequent year shall not be considered
in calculating the awards under section 611(d) for fiscal year 2013 or for any subsequent fiscal years: Provided further, That the funds reserved under 611(c) of the IDEA may be used to provide technical assistance to States to improve the capacity
of the States to meet the data collection requirements of sections 616 and 618 and to administer and carry out other services
and activities to improve data collection, coordination, quality, and use under parts B and C of the IDEA: [Provided further, That funds made available for the Special Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act of 2004 may be used to support expenses associated
with the Special Olympics National and World Games:] Provided further, That the level of effort a local educational agency must meet under section 613(a)(2)(A)(iii) of the IDEA, in the year after
it fails to maintain effort is the level of effort that would have been required in the absence of that failure and not the
LEA's reduced level of expenditures: Provided further, That the Secretary may use funds made available for the State Personnel Development Grants program under
Part D, subpart 1 of IDEA to evaluate program performance: Provided further, That, notwithstanding section 612(a)(18)(B),
in reducing a State's allocation under section 611 for failure to comply with the requirement of section 612(a)(18)(A), the
Secretary may apply that reduction over a period of consecutive fiscal years, not to exceed five, until the entire reduction
is applied: Provided further, That the Secretary may, in any fiscal year in which a State's allocation under section 611 is
reduced in accordance with section 612(a)(18)(B), reduce the amount a State may reserve under section 611(e)(1) by an amount
that bears the same relation to the maximum amount described in that paragraph as the reduction under section 612(a)(18)(B)
bears to the total allocation the State would have received in that fiscal year under section 611(d) in the absence of the
reduction: Provided further, That the Secretary shall either reduce the allocation of funds under section 611 for any fiscal
year following the fiscal year for which the State fails to comply with the requirement of section 612(a)(18)(A) as authorized
by section 612(a)(18)(B), or seek to recover funds under section 452 of the General Education Provisions Act (20 U.S.C. 1234a):
Provided further, That the Secretary may reserve up to $100,000,000 of the funds made available for section 611 of the IDEA
to support: (1) competitive grants to States, outlying areas, freely associated states, and the Secretary of the Interior
to carry out activities identified in its State Systemic Improvement Plans to improve results for children with disabilities
birth through age 21 under Parts B and C of the IDEA; and (2) related activities for carrying out and assessing the performance
of such those grants: Provided further, That funds reserved under the preceding proviso shall remain available for obligation
through September 30, 2016: Provided further, That each entity that receives a grant under the second preceding proviso may
make subgrants, contracts, or otherwise distribute those funds on a competitive, targeted, or formula basis to public, private,
and non-profit entities, including local educational agencies and early intervention service providers, to carry out activities
authorized under that proviso: Provided further, That, notwithstanding section 611(d)(1) of the IDEA, after reserving funds
under the third preceding proviso and funds for technical assistance, and for payments to the outlying areas, the freely associated
States, and the Secretary of the Interior under sections 611(b) and (c) of the IDEA, the Secretary shall allocate the remaining
amount among the States in accordance with section 611(d) of the IDEA. (Department of Education Appropriations Act, 2014.)

1To account for the Administration's ESEA reauthorization proposal, the 2015 Budget eliminates the $1.7 billion advance appropriation
that was previously in the School Improvement Programs account (renamed the Education Improvement Programs account) and replaces
it with corresponding increases to advance appropriations in the Education for the Disadvantaged ($841 million, renamed the
Accelerating Achievement and Ensuring Equity account) and Special Education ($841 million) accounts. Total advance appropriations
in the Department of Education remain the same at $22.6 billion.
State Grants:
Grants to States._Formula grants are provided to States to assist them in providing special education and related services to children with
disabilities ages 3 through 21. The request for the Grants to States program includes $100 million to support new Results
Driven Accountability (RDA) Incentive grants. These 4-year competitive grants will be used by States to identify and implement
promising, evidence-based reforms that will improve service delivery for children with disabilities served under Parts B and
C of IDEA, while also building State and local capacity to continue to improve outcomes for those children in the long-term.
Preschool grants._Formula grants provide additional funds to States to further assist them in providing special education and related services
to children with disabilities ages 3 through 5 served under the Grants to States program.
The goal of both of these programs is to improve results for children with disabilities by assisting State and local educational
agencies to provide children with disabilities with access to high quality education that will help them meet challenging
standards and prepare them for employment and independent living.
Grants for infants and families._Formula grants are provided to assist States to implement statewide systems of coordinated, comprehensive, multi-disciplinary
interagency programs to provide early intervention services to children with disabilities, birth through age 2, and their
families.
The goal of this program is to help States provide a comprehensive system of early intervention services that will enhance
child and family outcomes.
National activities._These activities include personnel preparation and development, technical assistance, and other activities to support State
efforts to improve results for children with disabilities under the State Grants programs.
The goal of National Activities is to link States, school systems, and families to best practices to improve results for infants,
toddlers, and children with disabilities.
Special Olympics education programs._This program funds activities that promote the expansion of the Special Olympics and the design and implementation of Special
Olympics education programs.

items, which track additional students with disabilities ages 14 and older who leave special education, and are mutually exclusive
with other categories included in this table. Because this is the case, the percentages reported in this table are not comparable
with percentages reported in the same table in previous years.

Vocational rehabilitation State grants._The basic State grants program provides Federal matching funds to State vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies to assist
individuals with physical or mental impairments to become gainfully employed. Services are tailored to the specific needs
of the individual. Priority is given to serving those with the most significant disabilities. Current law requires that between
1.0 percent and 1.5 percent of the funds appropriated for the VR State grants program be set aside for Grants for Indians.
The program performance measures for this program are based on State VR agency performance indicators developed pursuant to
Section 106 of the Rehabilitation Act. One of these indicators measures the percentage of general and combined State VR agencies
that assist at least 55.8 percent of individuals receiving services to achieve an employment outcome. In 2012, 57 percent
of the agencies met this performance criterion. Another indicator measures the percentage of general and combined State VR
agencies that assist at least 85 percent of individuals with employment outcomes to achieve competitive employment. In 2012,
96 percent of general and combined agencies met this performance criterion. These outcome data are based on the approximately
323,300 individuals whose service records were closed in 2012 after receiving services.
The request for the VR State Grants program includes the CPIU adjustment specified in the authorizing statute, which would
offset the reduction in funds resulting from the Administration's proposal to eliminate separate funding authorities for the
smaller VR-related programs under the Rehabilitation Act in order to reduce duplication of effort and administrative costs,
streamline program administration at the Federal and local level, and improve efficiency and accountability. The FY 2015 request
also includes language that would allow the Secretary to use amounts provided in this Act for the VR State Grants program
that remain available subsequent to the reallotment of funds to States pursuant to section 110(b) of the Rehabilitation Act
to support innovative activities aimed at improving outcomes for individuals with disabilities, including activities under
the Promoting Readiness of Minors in Supplemental Security Income (PROMISE) program.
Client assistance State grants._Formula grants are made to States to provide assistance in informing and advising clients and applicants about benefits available
under the Rehabilitation Act and, if requested, to pursue legal or administrative remedies to ensure the protection of the
rights of individuals with disabilities.
Training._Grants are made to States and public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including institutions of higher education,
to increase the number of skilled personnel available for employment in the field of rehabilitation and to upgrade the skills
of those already employed. The Administration's proposal would eliminate funds currently provided to State VR agencies to
support in-service training for agency personnel under section 302(g)(3) of the Training program as these agencies are able
to use VR State Grant funds for training State agency personnel. This proposal would eliminate the administrative costs involved
in making small grants each year to State VR agencies under the Training program and improve the efficiency of training delivered
under the Rehabilitation Act.
Demonstration and training programs._Competitive grants and contracts are awarded to expand and improve the provision and effectiveness of programs and services
authorized under the Rehabilitation Act or further the purposes of the Act in promoting the employment and independence of
individuals with disabilities in the community. Funds are used to support model demonstrations, technical assistance, and
projects designed to improve program performance and the delivery of vocational rehabilitation and independent living services.
Independent living._Grants are awarded to States and consumer-controlled nonprofit organizations to assist individuals with significant disabilities
in their achievement of self-determined independent living goals. Grants are also awarded to provide support services to older
blind individuals to increase their ability to care for their own needs.
Protection and advocacy of individual rights._Formula grants are made to State protection and advocacy systems to protect the legal and human rights of individuals with
disabilities.
National institute on disability and rehabilitation research._The Institute carries out a comprehensive and coordinated program of rehabilitation research and related activities. Through
grants and contracts, it supports the conduct and dissemination of research and development aimed at improving the lives of
individuals with disabilities. The Institute also promotes the development and utilization of new technologies to assist these
individuals in achieving greater independence and integration into society. Funds would also be used to conduct rigorous evaluations
of programs and activities authorized under the Rehabilitation Act.
Helen Keller national center for deaf blind youths and adults._The Center provides services to deaf-blind youths and adults and provides training and technical assistance to professional
and allied personnel at its national headquarters center and through its regional representatives and affiliate agencies.
Assistive technology._Assistive Technology (AT) programs support AT State formula grants to implement comprehensive Statewide programs designed
to maximize the ability of individuals with disabilities of all ages to obtain assistive technology. States conduct activities
that include alternative financing programs, device reutilization programs, device loan programs, and device demonstrations.
Formula grants are also provided under the AT Protection and Advocacy program to systems established under the Developmental
Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act for protection and advocacy services to assist individuals with disabilities
of all ages. Funds also support national technical assistance activities for these formula grant programs.

This institution provides undergraduate, continuing education, and graduate programs related to deafness for students who
are deaf and hard of hearing. The University also conducts basic and applied research and provides public service programs
for persons who are deaf and persons who work with them.
Gallaudet operates the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center, which includes two elementary and secondary education
programs on the main campus of the University. The Kendall Demonstration Elementary School serves students who are deaf from
infancy through age 15, and the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) serves high school age students who are deaf. The
Clerc Center also develops and disseminates information on effective educational techniques and strategies for teachers and
professionals working with students who are deaf or hard of hearing.
In 2013, the appropriation for Gallaudet represented approximately 67 percent of total revenue for the University. Approximately
25 percent of the Federal appropriation was used to support activities at the Clerc Center, which received nearly 100 percent
of its revenue through the appropriation. In addition, the University receives other Federal funds such as student financial
aid, vocational rehabilitation, Endowment Grant program income, and competitive grants and contracts. The 2015 request includes

The Administration is proposing legislation reauthorizing the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006,
including programs in this account. When new authorizing legislation is enacted, resources will be requested for these programs.
See the "Legislative proposal, not subject to PAYGO" schedule for additional details.
Adult education:
State programs._Funds support formula grants to States to help eliminate functional illiteracy among the Nation's adults, to assist adults
in obtaining a high school diploma or its equivalent, and to promote family literacy. A portion of the funds is reserved for
formula grants to States to provide English literacy and civics education for immigrants and other limited English proficient
adults.
National leadership activities._Funds support discretionary activities to evaluate the effectiveness of Federal, State, and local adult education programs,
and to test and demonstrate methods of improving program quality. The additional funds requested in fiscal year 2015 would
support new competitive Skills Challenge Grants for partnerships—among States, adult education providers, institutions of
higher education, and private organizations, including industry representatives with identified regional or local workforce
needs—that build evidence of effectiveness and demonstrate innovative models for transforming our adult education system.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans
obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond, as well as any administrative expenses for the College Housing
and Academic Facilities Loans Program and the Historically Black College and University Capital Financing Program. The subsidy
amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are on a cash basis. These programs are administered
separately but consolidated in the Budget for presentation purposes.
College housing and academic facilities loans program._Funds for this activity pay the Federal costs of administering the College Housing and Academic Facilities Loans (CHAFL),
College Housing Loans (CHL), and Higher Education Facilities Loans (HEFL) programs. Prior to 1994, these programs provided
financing for the construction, reconstruction, and renovation of housing, academic, and other educational facilities. Although
no new loans have been awarded since 1993, the Department of Education will incur costs for administering the outstanding
loans through 2030.
Historically Black college and university capital financing program._The Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Capital Financing Program provides HBCUs with access to capital financing
for the repair, renovation, and construction of classrooms, libraries, laboratories, dormitories, instructional equipment,
and research instrumentation. The authorizing statute gives the Department authority to enter into insurance agreements with
a private for-profit Designated Bonding Authority. The bonding authority issues the loans and maintains an escrow account
in which 5 percent of each institution's principal is deposited. The Budget requests $19.1 million in new loan subsidies,
allowing the program to guarantee an estimated $322 million in new loans in 2015. The Budget also requests a 2-year period
of availability for this loan subsidy. In addition, the Budget requests funds for the Federal costs of administering the program
and providing technical assistance activities that improve the financial stability of HBCUs.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this non-budgetary account records all cash flows to and from the Federal
Government resulting from direct loans obligated in 1996 and beyond. The Federal Financing Bank (FFB) purchases bonds issued
by the HBCU Designated Bonding Authority. Under the policies governing Federal credit programs, bonds purchased by the FFB
and supported by the Department of Education with a letter of credit create the equivalent of a Federal direct loan. HBCU
bonds are also available for purchase by the private sector, and these will be treated as loan guarantees. However, the Department
anticipates that all HBCU loans will be financed by the FFB. The amounts in this account are a means of financing and are
not included in the budget totals.

Notes._Figures include, in all years, institutional matching share of defaulted notes assigned from institutions to the Education
Department.
Funding from the Student Financial Assistance account and related matching funds would provide nearly 11.7 million awards
totaling more than $37.0 billion in available aid in award year 2015–2016. In addition, the request would provide $4.1 billion
in aid to an estimated 766,000 students through an expanded Perkins loan program.
Federal Pell grants._Pell Grants are the single largest source of grant aid for postsecondary education. Funding for this program is provided from
two sources: discretionary appropriations and mandatory budget authority provided by the College Cost Reduction and Access
Act, as amended; the Budget Control Act; and changes to the Higher Education Act of 1965 made in the 2012 appropriations act.
In 2015, nearly 8.9 million undergraduates will receive up to $4,860 from the discretionary award and an additional $970 from
the mandatory add-on to help pay for postsecondary education. Undergraduate students establish eligibility for these grants
under award and need determination rules set out in the authorizing statute and annual appropriations act. The 2015 Budget
request includes $22.8 billion in discretionary funding for Pell Grants in 2015, which, when combined with previously provided
mandatory funding, will support a projected maximum award of $5,830. Additionally, the Budget proposes to: strengthen academic
progress requirements in the Pell Grant program to encourage students to complete their studies on time; and, reinstate the
Ability to Benefit provision for students enrolled in eligible career pathways programs.
Federal supplemental educational opportunity grants (SEOG)._Federal funds are awarded by formula to qualifying institutions, which use these funds to award grants to undergraduate students.
While institutions have discretion in awarding these funds, they are required to give priority to Pell Grant recipients and
other students with exceptional need. The Federal share of these grants cannot exceed 75 percent of the total grant. The 2015
Budget includes $733 million for SEOG, which would generate $975 million in aid to 1.6 million students.
Federal work-study._Federal funds are awarded by formula to qualifying institutions, which provide part-time jobs to eligible undergraduate and
graduate students. Hourly earnings under this program must be at least the Federal minimum wage. Federal funding, in most
cases, pays 75 percent of a student's hourly wages, with the remaining 25 percent paid by the employer. The Federal Work-Study
program also requires participating institutions to use at least 7 percent of their total funds for students employed in community
service jobs. The 2015 Budget includes $975 million for Work-Study, which would generate $1.16 billion in aid to 690,000 students.
Federal Perkins loans._Institutions award low-interest loans from institutional revolving funds, which are comprised of Federal Capital Contributions,
institutional matching funds, and student repayments on outstanding loans. No new Federal Capital Contributions have been
appropriated since 2004. The Budget proposes to modernize and expand the Perkins Loan program so more colleges can participate
and more students can access these loans. The proposal would increase, beginning on July 1, 2015, the annual loan amounts
available to students to $8.5 billion from the current $1 billion. Rather than operating through institutional revolving funds,
the Federal Government would originate and service Perkins Loans. Loan volume would be allocated among degree-granting institutions.
This new formula will encourage colleges to control costs and offer need-based aid to prevent excessive indebtedness. Schools
would have some discretion about student eligibility. Perkins Loan borrowers would be charged the same interest rate as Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan borrowers. Perkins loans would accrue interest while students are in school, and other loan terms and conditions
would be the same as current Unsubsidized Stafford loans. As current Perkins Loan borrowers repay their loans, schools would
remit the Federal share of those payments to the Department of Education, beginning at the statutory date described in the
Higher Education Act of 1965. Schools would retain their own share of the revolving funds, as well as amounts sufficient to
cover the costs of the various Perkins Loan forgiveness provisions. Mandatory loan subsidy costs of this proposal would reduce
2015 outlays by $395 million, savings which would be redirected to the Pell Grant program to help maintain the maximum Pell
award. Subsidy costs are displayed in the Federal Perkins Loan program account.
Iraq and Afghanistan service grants._This program provides non-need-based grants to students whose parent or guardian was a member of the Armed Forces and died
in Iraq or Afghanistan as a result of performing military service after September 11, 2001. Service Grants are equal to the
maximum Pell Grant for a given award year. The Administration anticipates spending $355,000 to support an estimated maximum
of 1,000 awards in 2015.
Funding tables._The following tables display student aid funds available, the number of aid awards, average awards, and the unduplicated count
of recipients from each Federal student aid program. Loan amounts reflect the amount actually loaned to borrowers, not the
Federal cost of these loans. The data in these tables include matching funds wherever appropriate. The 2015 data in these
tables reflect the Administration's legislative proposals.

The Department of Education manages Federal student aid programs that will provide nearly $143 billion in new Federal student
aid grants and loans to 12.8 million students and parents in 2015. The Offices of Postsecondary Education, the Under Secretary
and Federal Student Aid (FSA) are primarily responsible for administering the Federal student financial assistance programs.
FSA was created by Congress in 1998 with a mandate to improve service to students and other student aid program participants,
reduce student aid administration costs, and improve accountability and program integrity.
Student Aid Administration
The 2015 Budget includes $675 million for student aid administration activities and $772 million for loan servicing activities,
for a total of $1.447 billion in discretionary budget authority. Administrative functions supported by these discretionary
funds include: processing student aid applications; providing and tracking aid awards to students, parents, and schools; servicing
the Department's loan portfolio; promoting efforts to reach key student populations; and simplifying the student aid application.
Servicing Cost Assumptions:
The following table details the major assumptions driving servicing costs for Federal student loans. Servicing costs are largely
determined by volume (average borrower accounts per month) and the average contractual unit costs negotiated to service the
volume. Average borrower accounts per month are calculated by the distribution of new unique borrower accounts to one of the
multiple servicers contracted with the Department. Currently, the Department contracts with 11 servicers, through the Title
IV Additional Servicers (TIVAS) contract and the new Not-For-Profit Servicers (NFP) contract. The average unit cost to service
each borrower is derived by contractual pricing schedules based on different borrower statuses (e.g., in-school, in-grace/current
repayment, deferment/forbearance, and delinquency). Differences in distribution among loan statuses will affect overall unit
costs due to different pricing for different statuses (e.g., in-repayment borrowers cost more to service than in-school borrowers).
Trends in Assumptions:
From passage of SAFRA through December 26, 2013, servicing activities were funded both by discretionary funds and mandatory
funds (as provided by SAFRA for eligible NFP servicers. However, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 eliminated mandatory funding
for servicing costs paid to NFP servicers, instead requiring all servicing costs after the date of enactment to be funded
by discretionary budget authority.)

The TEACH Grant program, authorized by the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007, awards annual grants of up to $4,000
to full- or part-time undergraduate and graduate students who agree to teach mathematics, science, foreign languages, bilingual
education, special education, or reading at a high-poverty school for not less than four years within eight years of graduation.
The program began awarding grants in the 2008–2009 award year. Students must have a grade point average of 3.25 or higher
to be eligible to receive a grant. Students who fail to fulfill the service requirements must repay the grants, including
interest accrued from the time of award.
Because TEACH Grants turn into loans in cases where the service requirements are not fulfilled, for budget and accounting
purposes the program is operated consistent with the requirements of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. This program account
records subsidy costs reflecting the net present value of the estimated lifetime Federal program costs for grants awarded
in a given fiscal year. Under this approach the subsidy cost reflects the cost of grant awards net of expected future repayments
for grants that are converted to loans.

The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 clarified that reserve funds held by public and non-profit guaranty agencies participating
in the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program are Federal property. These reserves are used to pay default claims from
FFEL lenders and fees to support agency efforts to avert defaults. The Federal Government reimburses these reserves for default
claim payments. The following schedule reflects the balances in these guaranty agency funds.

The Federal Government currently operates two major student loan programs: the FFEL program and the William D. Ford Federal
Direct Loan (Direct Loan) program. The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 eliminated the authorization to
originate new FFEL loans; as of July 1, 2010, all new loans are originated in the Direct Loan program. This summary section
outlines the structure of these two programs and provides text tables displaying program cost data; loan volume, subsidy,
default, and interest rates; and other descriptive information.
From its inception in 1965 through the end of June 2010, the FFEL program provided almost $899 billion in loans to postsecondary
students and their parents. Although no new FFEL loans will be originated, billions of outstanding FFEL loans will continue
to be serviced by lenders. Since July 1, 1994, the Direct Loan program has provided nearly $796 billion in new and consolidation
loans to students and parents. The Direct Loan program will make $101.6 billion in new loans available in 2015, excluding
Consolidation Loans, the current Perkins program, and the Budget's proposed new Perkins program.
Loan capital in the FFEL program was provided by private lenders, facilitated by the Federal guarantee on the loans. For the
outstanding FFEL portfolio, State and private nonprofit guaranty agencies act as agents of the Federal Government, providing
a variety of services including collection of some defaulted loans, default avoidance activities, and counseling to schools,
students, and lenders. The Government provides substantial payments to these guaranty agencies. The Bipartisan Budget Act
of 2013 eliminated the guaranty agencies' current retention share of the original defaulted student loan amount, and reduced
the maximum fee they can charge a borrower on the borrower's outstanding balance from 18.5 to 16 percent. Additionally, the
Act required these agencies to send the rehabilitated loans to the Department of Education if they cannot find a private lender
buyer, but maintained their right to the 16 percent collection fee. The Government also pays interest subsidies to lenders
for certain borrowers, as well as most costs associated with loan defaults and other write-offs.
Under the Direct Loan program, the Federal Government provides loan capital through the Treasury while loan origination and
servicing is handled by private-sector companies under performance-based contracts with the Department. The Direct Loan program
began operation in academic year 1994–1995 with 7 percent of overall loan volume but now originates all new loans.
The Direct Loan program offers four types of loans: Stafford, Unsubsidized Stafford, PLUS, and Consolidation. Evidence of
financial need is required for an undergraduate student to receive a subsidized Stafford loan (graduate and professional students
are not eligible). The other three loan programs are available to borrowers at all income levels. Loans can be used only to
meet qualified educational expenses.
The Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act of 2013 changed the calculation for student loan interest rates. The rates will
be set annually based on the 10-year Treasury note but those rates will remain fixed for the life of the loan. For Subsized
Stafford loans available to undergraduates, the interest rate will be equal to the 10-year Treasury note plus 2.05 percent
and capped at 8.25 percent. Loans originated in academic year 2013–2014 have an interest rate of 3.86 percent. Interest payments
for these loans are fully subsidized by the Federal Government while a student is in school (up to 150 percent of program
length) and during grace and deferment periods. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, provides that interest on Stafford
loans issued between July 1, 2012 and July 1, 2014 will begin to accrue during the six-month grace period after a borrower
leaves school.
The interest rate on new Unsubsidized Stafford loans for undergraduate borrowers is the same as that on subsidized Stafford
loans for undergraduates.
The Unsubsidized Stafford loan interest rate for graduate and professional students is equal to the 10-year Treasury note
plus 3.6 percent and capped at 9.5 percent; loans originated in academic year 2013–2014 have an interest rate of 5.41 percent.
The borrower interest rate on PLUS loans to graduate and professional students and parents of undergraduate borrowers is equal
to the 10-year Treasury note plus 4.6 percent and capped at 10.5 percent; loans originated in academic year 2013–2014 have
an interest rate of 6.41 percent.
For loans originated in the FFEL program, lenders may receive an interest subsidy, known as a special allowance payment, from
the Government to ensure a guaranteed rate of return on the loans. Special allowance payments vary by loan type, are determined
quarterly, and are based on current borrower interest rates and market-yield formulas. The guarantee percentage paid to lenders
on most defaults is 97 percent of unpaid loan principal (including any accrued interest on the full loan principal). The Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2012, gave holders of Federal student loans the option to change the basis for the special allowance calculation
from commercial paper to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), beginning April 1, 2012.
Consolidation loans allow borrowers to combine FFEL, Direct Loans, and Perkins Loans, as well as some loans made under the
Public Health Service Act. The interest rate for new Consolidation loans equals the weighted average of the interest rate
on the loans consolidated, rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of a percent.
For most types of Direct Loans, the origination fee is a base rate of one percent, but an additional surcharge for sequestration
was added in 2013 and in 2014. The base origination fee for PLUS loans is four percent, but is also subject to an additional
surcharge in 2013 and 2014. Loans are discharged when borrowers die, are totally and permanently disabled, or, under some
circumstances, declare bankruptcy.
New borrowers after October 1, 1998, who are employed as teachers in schools serving low-income populations for five consecutive,
complete school years, qualify for up to $5,000 in loan forgiveness; this benefit is increased to $17,500 for mathematics,
science, and special education teachers considered highly qualified under criteria established in the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act.
In addition, under a loan forgiveness program for public-sector employees, qualifying borrowers who have worked for 10 years
while making payments on their student loans will have any remaining loan balance forgiven. This benefit is only available
in the Direct Loan program, though FFEL borrowers may receive the benefit by taking out a Direct Consolidation Loan. Forgiveness
is available for all borrowers, regardless of when they took out their loans. The 2015 Budget proposes to reform some of the
terms of several loan repayment plans and to expand the reformed PAYE to all student borrowers.
Student borrowers may choose from four general types of repayment plans: standard, graduated, extended, and income-driven.
The repayment period is 10 years for the standard, graduated, and income sensitive repayment plans; 20 years for the Pay As
You Earn (PAYE) plan; and 25 years for the extended, income-based, and income-contingent repayment plans. The extended repayment
plan is available for borrowers with outstanding loans totaling more than $30,000. Income-driven plans generally require partial
financial hardship in order to qualify for reduced payments and the monthly payment is capped at the monthly payment of the
10-year Standard plan. At the end of the repayment term, the borrower's remaining balance is forgiven. FFEL borrowers may
change repayment plans annually. Direct Loan borrowers may switch between repayment plans at any time.
The 2015 Budget proposes to: expand PAYE to all qualified student borrowers regardless of when they took out loans: eliminate
the current standard payment cap in PAYE; calculate payments for married borrowers filing separately on the combined household
Adjusted Gross Income; cap Public Sector Loan Forgivenness (PSLF) at $57,500 (the independent undergraduate student Direct
Loan limit); establish a 25-year forgiveness period for borrowers with a debt above $57,500; prevent payments made under non-income-driven
repayment plans from counting toward PSLF terms; and cap the amount of interest that can accrue at 50 percent when a borrower's
monthly payment is insufficient to cover the interest.
The following tables display performance indicators and program data; including projected overall Direct Loan and FFEL costs;
and a summary of default rates.

1Default rates displayed in this table, which reflect projected defaults over the life of a loan cohort, are used in developing
program cost estimates. The Department uses other rates based on defaults occurring in the first 3 years of repayment to determine
institutional eligibility to participate in Federal loan programs. These 3-year rates are lower than those included in this
table.
FFEL program payments are made to lenders (interest subsidies, loan defaults, and discharges) and guaranty agencies (default
collection costs, administrative services). These payments are partially offset by an annual consolidation loan holder fee.
In Direct Loans, cash outflows are primarily payments to Treasury. Cash inflows include principal and interest payments on
outstanding Direct Loans.
The following table shows Government payments to and from lenders, guaranty agencies, and borrowers for specific years, regardless
of when loans were originated. These flows do not reflect long-term costs to the Government, nor the value of outstanding
loan assets, which are reflected in credit reform subsidy estimates.
The Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 accounts for differences in the amount and timing of cash flows among direct and guaranteed
loan programs to make cost estimates for these programs comparable with each other and other Federal programs.

Totals may not add due to rounding. Subsidies are weighted on Gross Volumes.Notes: For 2013, the rates are current; these include the actual executed rates for 2013 and the effect of re-estimates on
those rates. The 2013 cohort for Consolidation Loans includes volume and subsidy from the Special Direct Consolidation Loan
program.
The table above describes Direct Loan costs on a subsidy rate basis: program costs calculated under the Federal Credit Reform
Act of 1990 and comparably projected estimates of Federal administrative costs. As with any long-term projection, the comparison
is based on assumed future interest rates, borrower characteristics, administrative costs, and other factors over the life
of the loan cohort. To the degree actual conditions differ from projections, estimated subsidy rates will change.
The Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 requires the cost of existing loan cohorts to be reestimated to reflect changes in actual
and assumed borrower behavior, interest rates, and other factors. The following table shows the impact of these reestimates
in FFEL and Direct Loans.
Loan Disbursement and Subsidy Costs (in billions of dollars)
Total Subsidy Costs 1992–2012 (in billions of dollars)

Net Subsidy Costs
+$26.3
-$69.8
Total Disbursements
+$898.7
+$795.9
Changes in interest rate projections are a significant factor in FFEL and Direct Loan reestimates; recent declines in interest
rates below historical averages have been a major driver in changes to program costs. In addition, the number of borrowers
enrolled in income-based repayment plans has begun to increase which reflects program costs.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this program account records the subsidy costs associated with Federal
Family Education Loans (FFEL), formerly guaranteed student loans (GSL), committed in 1992 and beyond. Beginning with the 1993
cohort of loans, mandatory administrative costs, specifically contract collection costs, are included in the FFEL subsidy
estimates of each year's cohort. Subsidy amounts are estimated on a net present value basis.
A description of the FFEL program and accompanying tables are included under the Federal Direct Student Loan program account.

Research and Statistics:
Research, development, and dissemination.—Funds support a diverse portfolio of investigator-led research and development, evaluation studies, research and development
centers, and dissemination activities that provide parents, teachers, and schools with evidence-based information on effective
educational practices. Funds requested in 2015 would be used to sustain and expand research and evaluation efforts on topics
in early childhood, elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education.
Statistics.—Funds support the Department's statistical data collection activities, which are conducted by the National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES). NCES collects, analyzes, and disseminates education statistics at all levels, from preschool through postsecondary
and adult education, including statistics on international education activities. The 2015 request would allow NCES to continue
its on-going portfolio of activities, including collecting and reporting information on sub-baccalaureate education and training
for adults, as well as to obtain State-level Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) data for a sample of States
and to collect student-level administrative National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey (NPSAS) data every two years, providing
more timely information on educational costs, financial aid, enrollment, and student progress.
Regional educational laboratories.—Funds support a network of 10 regional laboratories that provide expert advice, including training and technical assistance,
to help States and school districts apply proven research findings in their school improvement efforts.
Assessment.—Funds support the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB).
NAEP administers assessments to samples of students in order to gather reliable information about educational attainment in
important academic areas. NAGB is responsible for formulating NAEP policy; developing student achievement levels; and selecting,
consistent with the requirements of the statute, the subjects to be assessed. The request for 2015 would provide support for
conducting reading, mathematics, and science assessments at grades 4, 8, and 12.
Research in special education.—Funds support research to address gaps in scientific knowledge in order to improve special education and early intervention
services and results for infants, toddlers, and children with disabilities.
Statewide data systems.—Funds support competitive grant awards to States to foster the design, development, and implementation of longitudinal data
systems. In 2015, funding would support linking K-12 systems to systems that include early childhood, postsecondary, and workforce
information, or further developing such systems. In addition, funds would support awards to public and private agencies to
improve data coordination, quality, and use at the local, State, and national levels.
Special education studies and evaluations.—Funds support studies, evaluations, and assessments related to the implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act in order to improve special education and early intervention services and results for infants, toddlers, and children
with disabilities.
