Abstract: Under section 302 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended
(Act), RSA has the authority to provide
financial assistance, through academic
institutions, to students seeking a career
in rehabilitative services. Students who
receive scholarships under this program
are required to work within the public
rehabilitation program, such as with a
state vocational rehabilitation agency, or
an agency or organization that has a
service arrangement with a state
vocational rehabilitation agency. The
student is expected to work two years in
such settings for every year of full-time
scholarship support.
Section 302 (b)(2)(C) of the Act
requires the academic institutions (i.e.,
grantees) that administer a RSA LongTerm Training program to track the
employment status and location of
former scholars supported under their
grants in order to ensure that students
are meeting the payback requirement.
