    Abstract: The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) 
amended Title III, Part A of the Higher Education Act to include

the previous PBI Program (authorized by the College Cost Reduction and

the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, the 
PBI program authorized under the HEOA is an institutional aid program 
and grants are based on a formula rather than being competitive. All 
institutions who qualify as PBIs and submit the required materials will 
receive a portion of the total appropriation based on a formula. The 
PBI Program makes grant awards to eligible colleges and universities to 
plan, develop, undertake and implement programs to enhance the 
institution's capacity to serve more low- and middle-income Black 
American students; to expand higher education opportunities for 
eligible students by encouraging college preparation and student 
persistence in secondary school and postsecondary education; and to 
strengthen the financial ability of the institution to serve the 
academic needs of these students. Allowable activities are numerous and 
include academic instruction, teacher education, faculty development, 
equipment purchase, construction and maintenance, and tutoring and 
counseling services. This information collection is necessary to comply 
with Section 318 of Title III, Part A of the HEA as amended.
