The resources in this schedule are proposed for later transmittal under the expected reauthorization of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965.
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. The request also includes a pilot opportunity for districts that distribute
funds to schools more equitably to receive relief from Federal reporting and fiscal requirements.
School improvement 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. Funds would also support competitive grants to States that have used or are using formula funds for interventions
with evidence of effectiveness; States would use these funds for new awards to LEAs to implement such interventions or school
closures.
Striving readers.— Funds would support competitive grants to LEAs to provide targeted, evidence-based literacy interventions in high-need
schools. Grantees would implement high-quality literacy programs, aligned with college- and career-ready English language
arts standards, in at least two grades based on a required needs assessment.
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 adult correctional facilities.

For carrying out, in accordance with the applicable requirements of part D of title V of the Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965, $750,000,000 for obligation through December 31, 2016, for a preschool development grants program: Provided,
That the Secretary, jointly with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall use all funds made available under this
heading to make competitive awards to States, the Bureau of Indian Education, Tribal Educational Agencies, Territories, or
Outlying Areas for activities that build the capacity 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, the Bureau of Indian Education, Tribal Educational
Agencies, Territories, or Outlying Areas 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 5 percent of such funds for preschool development grants shall be available for technical assistance, evaluation, early
education research, pilots to improve the integration of early learning programs, support the transition from preschool to
elementary school, and improve outcomes in the early grades, and other national activities related to such grants.

Preschool development grants._Funds would support grants to develop, enhance, or expand high-quality preschool programs. The Department would provide competitive
grants to States the Bureau of Indian Education, Tribal Educational Agencies, Territories, or Outlying Areas to build or enhance
a preschool program infrastructure and scale-up high-quality preschool programs in targeted high-need communities that serve
as models for expanding preschool to all four-year-olds from low- and moderate-income families. Funds would also support
national activities, such as technical assistance, evaluation, early education research, and a pilot program designed to test
innovative approaches to strengthening the effectiveness of early learning interventions and improving the transitions of
children from preschool into kindergarten through third grade.

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 the expected reauthorization of 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.

The resources in this schedule are proposed for later transmittal under the expected reauthorization of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965.
Improving teacher quality State grants.—Funds would support formula grants to States and LEAs to improve teacher and principal effectiveness and ensure the equitable
distribution of effective and highly effective teachers and principals. The Department would reserve up to 5 percent of the
appropriation for this program to support teacher and school leader enhancement projects with evidence of effectiveness and
conduct related national leadership activities.
Mathematics and science partnerships.— Funds would primarily support formula grants to States to assist LEAs, in partnership with institutions of higher education
(IHEs), businesses, and other entities, in implementing activities to improve teacher effectiveness and student engagement
and achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Funds would also be used for competitive grants
directly to eligible partnerships for such activities and for national activities, including a STEM virtual learning network.
Education technology State grants.—Funds would support State subgrants to model districts to support teachers and leaders in using technology to improve instruction
and personalize learning. Funds would also be used to build State capacity to help districts use technology to improve instruction
as well as identify and scale effective local practices to other districts in the State.
21st century community learning centers.—Funds would support formula grants to States for projects that provide the additional time, support, and enrichment activities
needed to improve student achievement.
State assessments.—Funds would support formula and competitive grants to States to develop and implement assessments that are aligned with college-
and career-ready academic standards.
Education for Native Hawaiians.—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 education equity.—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.
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.

The resources in this schedule are proposed for later transmittal under the expected reauthorization of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965.
Safe and drug-free schools and communities national activities.—Funds support competitive grants and other discretionary activities to foster a safe, secure, and drug-free learning environment,
facilitate emergency management and preparedness, and prevent drug use and violence by students. These activities include
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.
Elementary and secondary school counseling.—Funds support competitive grants to assist local educational agencies in developing or expanding elementary and secondary
school counseling programs.
Physical education.—Funds support competitive grants to local educational agencies and community-based organizations to help cover the costs
of initiating, expanding, and improving physical education programs for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Promise neighborhoods.—Funds 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.

The resources in this schedule are proposed for later transmittal under the expected reauthorization of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965.
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.
Excellent educators grants.—Funds would support evidence-based State and local initiatives to strengthen systems for recruiting, developing, and retaining
effective teachers and school leaders in high-need LEAs and schools.
Teacher and principal pathways.—Funds would support competitive grants to create and expand high-quality pathways into teaching and school leadership.
Charter schools grants.—Funds would support competitive grants for the planning, design, initial implementation, and expansion of successful charter
schools. Funds would also support information dissemination activities and competitive grants to improve charter schools'
access to facilities.
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.
Advanced placement.—Funds would support noncompetitive grants to States to help cover the cost of advanced placement exams taken by students
from low-income families. Funds would also support competitive grants to States, LEAs, and qualified nonprofit organizations
to expand access to accelerated learning programs.
Ready-to-learn television.—Funds would support competitive grants to public telecommunications entities to develop and distribute educational video
programming and digital content, such as applications and online educational games, for preschool and elementary school children
and their parents, caregivers, and teachers to facilitate student academic achievement.
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
demonstrations linking education and child welfare or other data systems to support early warning indicator systems, 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.
Leveraging what works pilot.—Funds would support competitive grants to LEAs that agree to use a portion of their Federal formula grant funds, in combination
with State and local resources, for comprehensive, evidence-based strategies that improve student outcomes while maintaining
the funds' focus on serving low-income students.
Arts in education.—Funds would support model projects and programs to integrate arts education into the regular elementary school and secondary
school curriculum, through competitive grants to support model development and dissemination and professional development
for arts educators.
Next generation high schools.—Funds would support competitive grants to transform teaching and learning in high schools by encouraging partnerships among
LEAs, institutions of higher education, 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.

For carrying out the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Special Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act
of 2004, [$12,522,358,000] $12,822,358,000, of which [$3,006,259,000] $3,296,259,000 shall become available on July 1, [2015] 2016, and shall remain available through September 30, [2016] 2017, and of which $9,283,383,000 shall become available on October 1, [2015] 2016, and shall remain available through September 30, [2016] 2017, for academic year [2015–2016] 2016–2017: 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 [2014] 2015, 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, but not less than the amount for that activity during fiscal year [2014] 2015: 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, notwithstanding the provision in section 612(a)(18)(B) regarding the fiscal year in which a State's allocation under
section 611(d) is reduced for failure to comply with the requirement of section 612(a)(18)(A), the Secretary may apply the
reduction specified in section 612(a)(18)(B) 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 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 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 under such subpart: Provided further, That the Secretary may reserve up to $10,000,000 of the funds made available for section 663 of the IDEA
to support: (1) grants to States, outlying areas, freely associated states, and the Secretary of the Interior to carry out
activities identified in their 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 those
grants: Provided further, That funds reserved under the preceding proviso shall remain available for obligation through September
30, 2017: 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 613(f)(1) of the IDEA, local educational agencies may also
use funds that they reserve under section 613(f) to develop and implement coordinated, early intervening services for children
ages 3 through 5, who have not been identified as needing special education and related services but who need additional developmental,
academic, and behavioral support to succeed in a general education environment or participate in appropriate activities: Provided
further, That, with respect to children receiving services under the preceding proviso, and who have not yet entered kindergarten,
the Secretary may waive the requirements of section 613(f)(4) of the IDEA: Provided further, That, notwithstanding section
643 of the IDEA, the Secretary may reserve up to $15,000,000 of the funds appropriated under section 644 of the IDEA for performance-based
awards to public or private non-profit entities for Pay for Success projects to increase early screening and early intervention
services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and early screening, evaluation, early intervention, and other services
to at-risk infants and toddlers who may otherwise not qualify for services under Part C of the IDEA in their State: Provided
further, That, with respect to the previous proviso, any funds obligated for such projects shall remain available until expended. (Department of Education Appropriations Act, 2015.)

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.
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 the Grants to
States and the Preschool grants 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. Under current law, local educational agencies
(LEAs) may reserve up to 15 percent of the funds they receive under Part B of the IDEA to provide coordinated early intervening
services (CEIS) to children in grades kindergarten through twelve. In its 2016 Budget, the Administration is requesting additional
flexibility to allow LEAs to provide CEIS to children ages three through five so that they are better prepared to enter school
ready to learn.
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. The Administration is proposing to reserve $15 million of the increase requested for this
program for Pay for Success pilots to expand early screening and early intervention services to infants and toddlers who would
not otherwise qualify for these services in their State.
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. The request includes $10 million under the Technical Assistance and Dissemination
program that would support new Results Driven Accountability (RDA) Implementation grants. These competitive grants will be
used by States to identify and implement promising, evidence-based reforms that would improve service delivery for children
with disabilities served under Parts B and C of the IDEA, while also building State and local capacity to continue to improve
outcomes for those children in the long-term.
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.

to have continued in education." The Department of Education revised its data collection forms to include these additional
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.

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) (Public Law 113–128) which supports the Nation's primary programs and
investments in employment services, workforce development, adult education, and vocational rehabilitation made significant
changes to programs authorized under the Rehabilitation Act. Section 491 of WIOA transferred the State Independent Living
Services program, the Centers for Independent Living program, programs under the Assistive Technology Act of 1998, and the
National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research from the Department's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative
Services to the Administration for Community Living in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Consequently, the
Department's 2016 request does not include funds for these programs.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. In FY 2014, State VR agencies
assisted more than 183,000 individuals with disabilities to obtain an employment outcome, about 92 percent of whom were individuals
with significant disabilities. Amendments made by WIOA require State VR agencies to reserve and use at least 15 percent of
their Federal grant allotment to support pre-employment transition services for students with disabilities provided in accordance
with new section 113 of the Rehabilitation Act. Between 1.0 percent and 1.5 percent of the funds appropriated for the VR State
grants program must be set aside for Grants for Indians.
The request for the VR State Grants program includes the CPIU adjustment specified in the authorizing statute. The 2016 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.
Supported employment state grants._Under this formula grant program, State vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies receive supplemental funds to provide ongoing
support services for up to 24 months to assist individuals with the most significant disabilities in achieving competitive
integrated employment. States are required to use half of funds they receive under this program to provide supported employment
and extended services to youth with the most significant disabilities and to provide a match of 10 percent for the portion
used to serve such youth. States are also able to use SE funds to provide extended services for up to 4 years to eligible
youth with the most significant disabilities. An individual's potential for supported employment must be considered as part
of the assessment to determine eligibility for the Title I Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants program.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.
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 services for older individuals who are blind._Grants are awarded to States to assist individuals over the age of 55 with severe visual disabilities to adjust to their disability
and 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._
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._

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 2014, the appropriation for Gallaudet represented approximately 69 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 2016 request includes
funds that may be used for the Endowment Grant program.

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 (CHAFL) Program and the Historically Black College and University (HBCU) 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 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 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 $286
million in new loans in 2016. 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 more than 11.0 million awards
totaling more than $34.9 billion in available aid in award year 2016–2017. In addition, the request would provide $4.1 billion
in aid to an estimated 731,000 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, and changes to the Higher Education Act of 1965 made in the 2012 appropriations act.
In 2016, nearly 8.4 million undergraduates will receive up to $4,860 from the discretionary award and an additional $1,055
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 2016
Budget request includes $22.5 billion in discretionary funding for Pell Grants in 2016, which, when combined with mandatory
funding, will support a projected maximum award of $5,915. Additionally, the Budget proposes to make several small reforms
to the Pell Grant program:
First, it will strengthen academic progress requirements in the Pell Grant program.
Second, it would allow students enrolled in eligible career pathways programs to get the maximum Pell Grant award. An expansion
in 2015 only provided these students partial Pell awards.
Third, it would limit the receipt of additional Pell disbursements by recipients who are not advancing academically.
Fourth, the Budget would move Iraq Afghanistan Service Grants to the Pell Grant program so eligible students receive the full,
non-sequestered Pell award.
Fifth, and finally, the Budget proposes eliminating questions related to assets, non-IRS untaxed income, non-IRS income exclusions,
and other income adjustments, which have been shown to confuse students. To prevent resulting decreases in Pell Grant awards,
the Budget also proposes a $600 reduction in Expected Family Contributions.
The Budget also extends the inflationary increase to the maximum Pell grant award, which is scheduled to end after the 2017–2018
award year.
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 2016
Budget includes $733 million for SEOG, which would generate $976.5 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 2016 Budget includes $989.7 million for Work-Study, which would generate $1.2 billion in aid to 703,000
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, and the program is scheduled to end at the end of 2015. Some students are eligible for loans for
five additional years through a narrow grandfathering provision. 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. The Budget proposes to modernize
and expand the Perkins Loan program so more colleges can participate and more students can access loans. The proposal would
increase, beginning on July 1, 2016, the annual loan amounts available to students to $8.5 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. Mandatory
loan subsidy costs of this proposal would reduce 2016 outlays by $418 million, savings which would be reinvested in student
aid, specifically to continue indexing the Pell Grant to inflation beyond 2017. 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 2016 Budget proposes to move the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant program
into the Pell Grant program, so eligible students receive a full, non-sequestered award.
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 2016 data in these
tables reflect the Administration's legislative proposals.

The Department of Education manages Federal student aid programs that will provide nearly $148 billion in new Federal student
aid grants and loans to 13.2 million students and parents in 2016. 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 2016 Budget includes $727 million for student aid administration activities and $855 million for loan servicing activities,
for a total of $1.582 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 costs are largely determined by volume (borrower accounts per month) and the negotiated contractual per-borrower
price for each type of loan status (such as in-school, repayment, deferment, and forbearance). Changes in the distribution
of borrowers in each loan status affect the total overall cost for servicing since servicers are paid more for in-repayment
borrowers than for in-school borrowers and less for borrowers who are delinquent than those who are current. The servicing
contracts' incentive-based pricing and the contracts' performance metrics are designed to encourage high-quality customer
service and help borrowers stay current. Servicing costs in 2016 have increased over past years and will continue to do so,
as the Direct Loan program's total borrowers continue to increase and as the portfolio matures with more borrowers moving
from in-school to in-repayment.

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 has 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 the Direct Loan program originates all new loans. This narrative 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 continue to
be serviced by lenders and guaranty agencies.
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. 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.
Under the Direct Loan program, the Federal Government provides loan capital through the Treasury while the Department of Education
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 In 2016, excluding
Consolidation Loans, the Direct Loan program will make $109.2 billion in new loans available. (This figure also does not include
the current Perkins program nor the Budget's proposed new Perkins program.)
The Direct Loan program offers four types of loans: Subsidized Stafford, Unsubsidized Stafford, PLUS, and Consolidation. Undergraduates
with financial need may 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 for qualified educational expenses.
The Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act of 2013 changed how student loan interest rates are set. The rates are set annually
based on the 10-year Treasury note but those rates will remain fixed for the life of the loan. For Subsidized 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 2014–2015 have an interest rate of 4.66 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 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 2014–2015 have an interest rate of 6.21 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. PLUS loans originated in academic year 2014–2015 have an interest rate of 7.21 percent.
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, 2014, and in 2015. The
base origination fee for PLUS loans is four percent, but is also subject to an additional surcharge in 2013, 2014, and in
2015.
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.
Federal student loans have other benefits. For example, Federal student loans can be discharged when borrowers die, become
totally and permanently disabled, or, under some circumstances, declare bankruptcy. In addition, there are several loan forgiveness
programs. For example, 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 the Public Sector Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF), qualifying borrowers who
have worked for 10 years in the public sector and made payments in the standard or income-driven plans can 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 2016 Budget would reform the PAYE terms to ensure that program benefits are targeted to the neediest borrowers and safeguard
the program for the future, including by protecting against institutional practices that may further increase student indebtedness.
In addition, to simplify borrowers' experience while reducing program complexity, PAYE would become the only income-driven
repayment plan for borrowers who originate their first loan on or after July 1, 2016, which would allow for easier selection
of a repayment plan. Students who borrowed their first loans prior to July 1, 2016, would continue to be able to select among
the existing repayment plans (for plans for which they now qualify and for loans originated through their current course of
study), in addition to the modified PAYE. The Budget proposes additional changes to PAYE to include: eliminating the standard
payment cap under PAYE so that high-income, high-balance borrowers pay an equitable share of their earnings as their income
rises; calculating payments for married borrowers filing separately on the combined household Adjusted Gross Income; establishing
a 25-year forgiveness period for borrowers with balances above the aggregate loan limit for independent undergraduate students;
capping the amount of interest that can accrue when a borrower's monthly payment is insufficient to cover the interest to
avoid ballooning loan balances; capping PSLF at the aggregate loan limit for independent undergraduate students to protect
against institutional practices that may further increase student indebtedness, while ensuring the program provides sufficient
relief for students committed to public service and; preventing payments made under non-income driven repayment plans from
being applied toward PSLF to ensure that loan forgiveness is targeted to students with the greatest need.
Savings from this proposal would be reinvested in student aid spending, specifically to extend CPI indexing of the Pell Grant
beyond 2017.

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 2014, the rates are current; these include the actual executed rates for 2014 and the effect of re-estimates on
those rates.
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.

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.

HEAL Loan Guarantee
–19
Consistent with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113–76), the Health Education Assistance Loans (HEAL) program
was transferred to the Department of Education from the Department of Health and Human Services in fiscal year 2014. The Department
of Education assumed responsibility for the program and the authority to administer, service, collect, and enforce the program.
In addition, the functions, assets, and liabilities of the Secretary of Health and Human Services that are associated with
the HEAL program were permanently transferred to the Secretary of Education.
The HEAL program guarantees loans from private lenders to health professions students to pay for the costs of their training.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records the subsidy costs associated with HEAL loan guarantees
committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of HEAL loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments
in any year), as well as administrative expenses of the program.

Research and Statistics:
Research, development, and dissemination.—Funds support a diverse portfolio of research, development, and dissemination activities that provide parents, teachers,
and schools with evidence-based information on effective educational practices. Funds requested in 2016 would be used to sustain
and expand research and evaluation efforts across all dimensions of education, including increased support for early childhood
research, the What Works Clearinghouse, and low-cost quick-turnaround randomized control trials.
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 2016 request would allow NCES to support
a wide range of activities, including initiating a new round of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Birth Cohort, collecting
administrative National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey (NPSAS) data every two years, and developing a study on college loan
performance.
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 ongoing 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 2016 would provide support for
the current NAEP schedule of assessments, which include transitioning the grades 4 and 8 national and State assessments in
reading and mathematics to a digital-based platform and expanding the number of districts for the Trial Urban District Assessment
(TUDA).
Research in special education.—Funds support research to build the evidence base on improving special education and early intervention services and outcomes
for infants, toddlers, and children with disabilities.
Statewide data systems.—Funds support competitive grant awards to States to foster the design, development, implementation, and use of longitudinal
data systems. In 2016, 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 outcomes for infants, toddlers, and children
with disabilities.
