SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 4, 2024, we published the NIA in the
Federal Register (89 FR 47928). Under the NIA, applications were due on
August 5, 2024. We are reopening this competition to allow affected
applicants (as defined under Eligibility) more time--until August 12,
2024--to prepare and submit their applications.
Eligibility: The extended application deadline applies only to
eligible applicants under the FY 2024 Basic Needs for Postsecondary
Students Program competition that are affected applicants. An eligible
applicant for this competition is defined in the NIA. To qualify as an
affected applicant, the applicant must have a mailing address that is
located in the federally declared disaster area and must provide
appropriate supporting documentation, if requested.
The applicable federally declared disaster area under this
declaration is the area in which assistance to individuals or public
assistance has been authorized under FEMA's disaster declaration for
Texas Hurricane Beryl DR-4798-TX. See the disaster declaration
available at https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4798.
Affected applicants that have already timely submitted applications
under the FY 2024 Basic Needs for Postsecondary Students Program
competition may resubmit applications on or before the extended
application deadline of August 12, 2024, but are not required to do so.
If a new application is not submitted, the Department will use the
application that was submitted by the original deadline. If a new
application is submitted, the Department will consider the application
that is last submitted and timely received by 11:59:59 p.m., Eastern
Time, on August 12, 2024.
Any application submitted by an affected applicant under the
extended deadline must contain evidence (e.g., the applicant
organization mailing address) that the applicant is located in the
applicable federally declared disaster area and, if requested, the
applicant must provide appropriate supporting documentation.
The application period is not reopened for all applicants.
Applications from applicants that are not affected, as defined above,
will not be accepted past the original August 5, 2024, deadline.
Note: All information in the NIA for this competition remains the
same, except for the deadline for the transmittal of applications for
affected applicants and the deadline for intergovernmental review.
