    Abstract: Under section 302 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 
amended (Act), RSA has the authority to provide financial assistance, 
through academic institutions, to students seeking a career in 
rehabilitative services. Students who receive scholarships under this 
program are required to work within the public rehabilitation program, 
such as with a state vocational rehabilitation agency, or an agency or 
organization that has a service arrangement with a state vocational 
rehabilitation. The student is expected to work two years in such 
settings for every year of full-time scholarship support. Section 
302(b)(2)(C) of the Act requires the academic institutions (i.e. 
grantees) that administer an RSA Long-Term Training program to track 
the employment status and location of form scholars supported under 
their grants in order to ensure that students are meeting the payback

to establish and maintain a tracking system on current and former RSA 
scholars for this purpose.
