Bell Commissioner of Education Office of Education Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Dear Dr. Bell: We recently completed a limited survey of the Office of Education's State Student Incentive Grant program, authorized by the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1070c). Our survey was conducted at Office of Education headquarters and at State scholarship agencies in Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. These States received about 15 per- cent of program funds in fiscal years 1974 and 1975. The survey objectives were to determine --the program's progress in meeting its legislative objectives, and --the efficiency of both the States' and Office of Education's program administration. We did not attempt to evaluate how the State grant program inter- acts with the other Office of Education student assistance pro- grams. The program's purpose is to assist States and territories to initiate or expand grant and scholarship programs for postsec- ondary education students having substantial financial need. Program funding began in fiscal year 1974 for use in program year 1974-75. Appropriations through fiscal year 1976 total $84 million. The legislation provides that funds be distributed to a participating State based on the ratio of the number of students enrolled at postsecondary institutions in that State to the total number of such students in all States. Accordingly, the Office of Education has determined that enrollment includes students attend- ing postsecondary institutions (2- and 4-year public and private and proprietary) on at least a half-time basis. Federal funds must be matched dollar for dollar by State funds.
