    Type of Review: Revision.
    Title: Jacob K. Javits Fellowship Program Final Performance Report.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
    Responses: 20.
    Burden Hours: 120.
    Abstract: The purpose of the Jacob J. Javits Fellowship Program is 
to award fellowships to eligible students of superior ability, selected 
on the basis of demonstrated achievement, financial need, and 
exceptional promise, to undertake graduate study in selected fields in 
the arts, humanities, and social sciences leading to a doctoral degree 
or to a master's degree in those fields in which the master's degree is 
the terminal highest degree awarded in the selected field of study at 
accredited institutions of higher education. Awards are made to 
institutions of higher education, who disburse funds to fellows. This 
Final Performance Report will be used by these institutions to report 
information on the fellowships administered during the four-year 
project period. Program staff have revised the Final Performance Report 
based on an analysis of respondent comments and an evaluation of the 
data provided by the report. Program staff believe that the revised 
report will improve the clarity of the document, reduce burden on 
respondents, and more effectively collect the data necessary to 
evaluate the projects' performance and address updated Government 
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) requirements.
