Grants to local educational agencies.—Funds are allocated via formula for programs that provide academic support to help students in high-poverty schools meet challenging
State standards. States assess annually all students in certain grades in at least English language arts, mathematics, and
science; develop systems to differentiate among schools on the basis of performance on those assessments and other indicators;
provide parents with information on the performance of their child's school; and ensure the development and implementation
of support and improvement plans for the lowest-performing schools.
Furthering options for children to unlock success.—Funds would support grants to local educational agencies that agree to promote expanded public school choice through the implementation
of weighted student funding formulas combined with open enrollment systems.
State agency migrant program.—Funds support formula grants to States for educational services to children of migratory farmworkers and fishers, with resources
and services for children who have moved within the past 36 months.
State agency neglected and delinquent children and youth education program.—Funds 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 correctional facilities.
Special programs for migrant students.—Funds support grants to institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations that assist migrant students in earning
a high school equivalency certificate or in completing their first year of college.

For carrying out programs of financial assistance to federally affected schools authorized by title VII of the ESEA, $1,236,435,000, of which $1,166,012,000 shall be for basic support payments under section 7003(b), $48,224,000 shall be for payments for children with disabilities under section 7003(d), $17,373,000, to remain available for obligation through September 30, 2019, shall be for construction under section 7007(b), and $4,826,000, to remain available until expended, shall be for facilities maintenance under section 7008: Provided, That for purposes of computing the amount of a payment for an eligible local educational agency under section 7003(a) for school year 2017–2018, children enrolled in a school of such agency that would otherwise be eligible for payment under section 7003(a)(1)(B) of such Act, but due to the deployment of both parents or legal guardians, or a parent or legal guardian having
sole custody of such children, or due to the death of a military parent or legal guardian while on active duty (so long as
such children reside on Federal property as described in section 7003(a)(1)(B)), are no longer eligible under such section, shall be considered as eligible students under such section, provided
such students remain in average daily attendance at a school in the same local educational agency they attended prior to their
change in eligibility status.

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 LEAs access to the primary source of revenue
used by most communities to finance education.
Basic support payments.—Payments will be made on behalf of more than 750,000 federally connected students enrolled in about 1,100 LEAs to assist
them in meeting their operation and maintenance costs. Average per-student payments will be approximately $1,500.
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 51,000 federally connected students with disabilities in about 840 LEAs. Average per-student payments will
be approximately $950.
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 6 to 10 construction grants will be awarded competitively to the highest-need Impact Aid LEAs for emergency
repairs and modernization of school facilities.
School improvement programs
For carrying out school improvement activities authorized by part B of Title I and part B of title V of the ESEA; the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act; section 203 of the Educational Technical Assistance Act of 2002;
the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003; and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, $697,231,000, of which $622,654,000 shall become available on July 1, 2018, and remain available through September 30, 2019: Provided, That $51,347,000 shall be available to carry out section 203 of the Educational Technical Assistance Act of 2002 and the Secretary shall make
such arrangements as determined to be necessary to ensure that the Bureau of Indian Education has access to services provided
under this section: Provided further, That $16,667,000 shall be available to carry out the Supplemental Education Grants program for the Federated States of Micronesia and the
Republic of the Marshall Islands: Provided further, That the Secretary may reserve up to 5 percent of the amount referred to in the previous proviso to provide technical assistance
in the implementation of these grants: Provided further, That $175,506,000 shall be for part B of title V.
Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the

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. Funds would also support audits of State and local assessment systems.
Education for homeless children and youths.—Funds would support activities to ensure that all homeless children and youth have equal access to the same free, appropriate
public education available to other children.
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, sex, national origin, and religion.
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 to carry out activities authorized elsewhere in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). 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.
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 would support a new cohort of Centers that would reflect changing priorities and new demands resulting from the reauthorization
of the ESEA and that would provide services to the Bureau of Indian Education.

School safety national activities. Funds support competitive grants and other discretionary activities to foster a safe, secure, and drug-free learning environment
conducive to teaching and learning; facilitate emergency management and preparedness as well as recovery from traumatic events;
prevent drug use and violence by students; and otherwise improve student well-being. These activities include efforts to create
positive school climates and to counter the effects of pervasive violence on students, including by assisting local school
districts to build and increase their capacity to address the comprehensive behavioral and mental health needs of students.

Education innovation and research.—Funds would support grants to local educational agencies (LEAs), State educational agencies (SEAs), the Bureau of Indian
Education (BIE), consortia of LEAs or SEAs, or nonprofit organizations; or consortia of SEAs, LEAs, or the BIE with a nonprofit
organization, a business, an educational service agency, or an institution of higher education designed to improve the achievement
and attainment of high-need students. A portion of the funds would support efforts to test and build evidence for the effectiveness
of private school choice as a strategy for: 1) expanding school choices for parents who wish to send their children to high
quality private schools; 2) improving educational outcomes for students from low-income families or students enrolled in persistently
low-performing schools; and 3) increasing competition in order to improve the quality and performance of all schools.
Teacher and school leader incentive grants.—Funds would support grants to develop, implement, improve, or expand human capital management systems or performance-based
compensation systems, especially in high-need schools.
Supporting effective educator development.—Funds would support competitive grants to institutions of higher education, national nonprofit entities, and the BIE to
provide educators with evidence-based professional development and to support pathways that allow educators with nontraditional
preparation and certification to obtain employment in traditionally underserved local educational agencies.
Charter schools grants.—Funds would support competitive grants for the opening of new charter schools and the replication and expansion of high-quality
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.

during fiscal year 2017, 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 2017: 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, 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 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.

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 (LEAs) 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, LEAs may reserve up
to 15 percent of the funds they receive under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to provide coordinated
early intervening services to children in grades kindergarten through 12.
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 two, 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.—Funds are provided for 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.

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 2016, State VR agencies assisted
an estimated 186,715 individuals with disabilities to obtain an employment outcome, about 94 percent of whom were individuals
with significant disabilities. VR State Grants is a core program of the workforce development system under the Workforce Innovation
and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and a 4required partner in the one-stop service delivery system for accessing employment and training
services. 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 2018 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 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.
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.
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.

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 (HBCU) 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 five percent of each institution's principal
is deposited. The Budget requests $20.1 million in new loan subsidies, allowing the program to guarantee an estimated $314
million in new loans in 2018. 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 Historically Black College and University (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 7.6 million awards
totaling more than $29.3 billion in available aid in award year 2017–2018.
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 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 2018, over 7.2 million undergraduates will receive up to $4,860 from the discretionary award and an additional $1,060 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 2018 Budget
request includes $22.4 billion in discretionary funding for Pell Grants in 2018, which, when combined with mandatory funding,
will support a projected maximum award of $5,920.
The Budget supports year-round Pell Grant eligibility to allow students the opportunity to earn a third semester of Pell Grant
support—up to an additional 50 percent of their regular Pell Grant award—during an award year in which they have exhausted
their eligibility and enroll in additional coursework, ensuring that students can accelerate their studies and enter the workforce
on time.
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
2018 Budget proposes to eliminate this program, since it is largely duplicative of the Pell Grant program while at the same
time delivering need-based aid in a much less targeted way.
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 seven percent of their total funds for students employed
in community service jobs. The 2018 Budget includes $500.0 million for Work-Study, which would generate $553.7 million in
aid to 332,600 students. The President's 2018 Budget proposes to reform the poorly targeted Work Study program to ensure funds
go to undergraduate students who would benefit most.
Federal Perkins loans.—Institutions award low-interest loans from institutional revolving funds, which comprise 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 was authorized through September 30, 2017 by the Federal Perkins Loan Program Extension
Act of 2015. The program will no longer be authorized beginning in fiscal year 2018 and no new loans will be disbursed.
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. Grants are equal to the maximum
Pell Grant for a given award year, which is $5,920 for the 2017–2018 award year.
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 2018 data in these
tables reflect the Administration's Budget proposals.

The Department of Education manages Federal student aid programs that will provide nearly $134 billion in new Federal student
aid grants and loans (excluding Direct Consolidation Loans) to 12.2 million students and parents in 2018. 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 the 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 2018 Budget includes $681 million for student aid administration activities and $1.017 billion for loan servicing activities,
for a total of $1.698 billion in discretionary budget authority. Administrative functions supported by these discretionary
funds include: maintaining operations for student aid application processing, origination, disbursement functions, and student
aid information technology system hosting; servicing the Department's loan portfolio; and enhancing security across applications.
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 2018 have increased over past years and will continue to do so,
as the Direct Loan program's total number of borrowers continue to increase and as the portfolio shifts with borrowers moving
from in-school to more expensive in-repayment status.

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 Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, increased guaranty agency reinsurance payments from 95 percent
of the face value of loans to 100 percent. The following schedule reflects the balances in these guaranty agency funds.

The Federal Government has two major student loan programs: the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program and the William
D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) program. The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act eliminated the authorization
to originate new FFEL loans; as of July 1, 2010, 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 guaranteed almost $899 billion in loans to postsecondary
students and their parents. Although no new FFEL loans have been originated since July 1, 2010, $232 billion of outstanding
FFEL loans continue to be serviced by lenders and guaranty agencies. The 2018 Budget proposes to eliminate the payment of
Account Maintenance Fees to guaranty agencies.
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 and not-for-profit loan servicers under performance-based contracts with
the Department. The Direct Loan program began operation in award year 1994–1995, originating seven percent of overall loan
volume. In 2018, excluding Consolidation Loans, the Direct Loan program will make $104.8 billion in new loans available.
The Direct Loan program offers four types of loans: Subsidized Stafford; Unsubsidized Stafford; PLUS; and Consolidation. Loans
can be used for qualified educational expenses. 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. The Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act of 2013 changed how student loan interest rates are set. The rates are set
annually for loans originated in the upcoming award year based on the 10-year Treasury note; 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 award year 2016–2017 have an interest
rate of 3.76 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 award year 2016–2017 have an interest rate of 5.31 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 award year 2016–2017 have an interest rate of 6.31
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, 2015, 2016 and 2017. The base origination fee for PLUS loans is four percent, but has included an
additional surcharge in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
Borrowers may choose from four basic types of repayment plans: standard; graduated; extended (available for qualified borrowers
who have outstanding loans of more than $30,000); and income-driven. FFEL borrowers may change repayment plans annually. Direct
Loan borrowers may switch between repayment plans at any time. The maximum repayment period is 10 years for standard and graduated
plans, as well as the income-sensitive repayment plan that is available only for FFEL loans. Under the current income-driven
administrative Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and statutory Income-Based-Repayment (IBR) plans, for new borrowers after 2014, the
repayment period is 20 years. Under the current income-driven administrative Revised PAYE plan, the repayment period is 20
or 25 years depending on whether the borrower has any graduate school loans. And, under the extended, former IBR (for borrowers
prior to 2014), and income-contingent repayment plans, the maximum time is 25 years. PAYE and IBR require partial financial
hardship in order to qualify for reduced payments and borrowers in those plans have their monthly payments 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.
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, qualifying borrowers who have
worked for 10 years in the public sector and made 120 qualifying monthly 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 Direct Loan borrowers,
regardless of when they took out their loans.
The 2018 Budget would replace the five current Income Driven repayment (IDR) plans with one new single IDR plan to make choosing
a repayment plan less complex. The new IDR plan would become the only income-driven repayment plan for borrowers who originate
their first loan on or after July 1, 2018, with an exception for students who borrowed their first loans prior to July 1,
2018 and who are borrowing to complete their current course of study. The single IDR plan would: cap payments at 12.5% of
discretionary monthly income while eliminating the standard repayment cap; limit loan payments to 15 years for borrowers with
undergraduate debt only and 30 years for borrowers with any graduate debt—any remaining amounts owed after these repayment
periods would be forgiven; calculate payments for married borrowers filing separately on the combined household Adjusted Gross
Income; and eliminate Public Service Loan Forgiveness. The 2018 Budget would also eliminate Subsidized Stafford loans. As
with the single IDR plan, this policy would apply to loans originated on or after July 1, 2018, with an exception for students
continuing to borrow to complete their current course of study.

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 2016, the rates are current; these include the actual executed rates for 2016 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.

Total Disbursements
+$898.7
+$1,213.5
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, updates to the collections
on defaults assumption had a significant impact on both programs. For Direct Loans, several other assumptions were reestimated
that contributed to the large upward reestimate, including Death, Disability, and Bankruptcy rates, and updates to reflect
the increased number of borrowers enrolled in income-driven plans. Model assumptions affecting the 2016 cohort were also updated.
These technical assumptions were not updated in the 2017 Budget due to the requirement in the Federal Credit Reform Act that
estimates be based on current assumptions, as defined in section 250(c)(9) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control
Act of 1985.

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, 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.

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 2014. The Department of
Education assumed responsibility for the program and the authority to administer, service, collect, and enforce the program.
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.
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.
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.
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 2018, 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.
