SUMMARY: This notice provides information about four workshops to 
assist individuals interested in learning more about the Fiscal Year 
(FY) 2005 programs of the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary 
Education (FIPSE). Program staff will present program information and 
answer questions about FIPSE's programs. The workshops will focus 
primarily on the Comprehensive Program, which provides grants for 
innovative reform projects that hold promise as models for the 
resolution of important issues and problems in postsecondary education.

Internet at the following site: http://www.ed.gov/FIPSE.
    Although the Department has not yet announced an application 
deadline date for its FY 2005 FIPSE grant competitions in the Federal 
Register, the Department is holding these workshops to give potential 
applicants relevant background information on FIPSE programs for which 
grant competitions are expected to be held in FY 2005. Specific 
requirements for grant competitions will be announced in the Federal
