Many Proprietary Schools Do Not Comply

With Department Of Education's

Pell Grant Program Requirements



The Pell Grant program provides money to help needy
individuals finance their postsecondary education. The
objective of the program at proprietary schools--generally
private, for profit vocational schools--is to prepare students
for employment.

GAO found that many schools were not adhering to
requirements for administering the program. Many schools

   --admitted unqualified students who had a greater
   tendency than other students to drop out before
   completing training,

   -allowed students to remain in school who did not
   meet academic progress standards,

   --misrepresented themselves to prospective students,
   and

   --made numerous errors in computing and disbursing
   Pell Grant awards and refunds.


Improved monitoring of proprietary schools is needed to
better assure that they comply with the program re-
quirements and that students obtain intended benefits.
