Letter of approval

We are pleased to inform you that your recent request for designation as an eligible institution under Title III and/or Title V of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEA), is approved.

Please note, if you have a current Title III or Title V grant that will end during this scal year, you may be eligible to apply for additional programs. Please contact the program ocer for which you are interested in applying.

Please retain this letter as evidence of your eligibility and for an adequate audit trail.

As a result of receiving this designation your institution is also eligible for a waiver of the non-Federal share matching requirements under the Federal Work Study Program (FWS) the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program (FSEOG) and the TRIO Student Support Services Program under Title IV of the HEA. Your institution is also potentially eligible for a waiver of the Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL) Program matching requirement, pending a demonstration of your institution’s need for such a waiver in your application for new awards under this program.

NOTE: Branch campuses are not eligible for the waiver of the non-Federal share matching requirements. If the main campus is also eligible for Titles III and V programs, and they receive the cost-share waiver, the main campus’ waiver can be extended to its eligible branch campus.

The eligibility for a waiver of the non-Federal share matching requirements applies for a one-year period beginning July 1, 2023. The oces within the Department of Education that administer those specic programs will handle the waiver of the cost sharing. You must apply for eligibility designation annually.

If you have questions concerning this designation, please contact Christopher Smith at Christopher.Smith@ed.gov or (202) 453-7946 or Jason Cottrell, Ph.D. at Jason.Cottrell@ed.gov, or (202) 453-7530. If you have questions concerning the waiver of the non-Federal share matching requirements for FWS or FSEOG, please contact the Campus-Based Call Center at CODSupport@ed.gov or (800) 848- 0978.

Sincerely,
Beatriz Ceja Williams
