Abstract: Part 601—Institution and
Lender Requirements Relating to
Education Loans is a section of the
regulations governing private education
loans offered at covered institutions.
These regulations assure the Secretary
that the integrity of the program is
protected from fraud and misuse of
program funds and places requirements
on institutions and lenders to ensure
that borrowers receive additional
disclosures about Title IV, HEA program
assistance prior to obtaining a private
education loan. The Department is
submitting the unchanged Private
Education Loan Applicant SelfCertification for OMB’s continued
approval. While information about the
applicant’s cost of attendance and
estimated financial assistance must be
provided to the student, if available, the
student will provide the data to the
private loan lender who must collect
and maintain the self-certification form
prior to disbursement of a Private
Education Loan. The Department will
not receive the Private Education Loan
Applicant Self-Certification form and
therefore will not be collecting and
maintaining the form or its data.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
the Demonstration Grants for Indian
Children program is to provide financial
assistance to projects that develop, test,
and demonstrate the effectiveness of
services and programs to improve the
educational opportunities and
achievement of preschool, elementary,
and secondary Indian students.
Background: For FY 2016, the
Department will continue to use the
priority for Native Youth Community
Projects (NYCP) first used in FY 2015 to
support community-led, comprehensive
projects to help American Indian/Alaska
Native (AI/AN) children become
college- and career-ready. NYCP
funding is one of many efforts across the
Federal government to coordinate,
measure progress, and make
investments in Native youth programs
as part of the Generation Indigenous
Initiative. These efforts aim to address
educational outcomes, access to the
internet, the availability of teacher
housing, Indian Child Welfare Act
implementation, tribal criminal justice,
and the suicide rate. The Department
intends to award several NYCP grants
for communities to improve educational
outcomes, specifically college- and
career-readiness, through strategies
tailored to address the specific
challenges and build upon the specific
opportunities and culture within a
community. Due to increased funding
for FY 2016, the Department expects to
support more comprehensive projects
that implement multiple strategies.
Given the interconnectedness of inschool and out-of-school factors that
relate to student achievement and
positive youth development, grants will
support a community-led approach to
providing academic, social-emotional,
cultural, and other support services for
AI/AN students and students’ family
members. Recognizing the importance
of tribes to the education of Native
youth, NYCP projects are based on a
partnership that includes at least one
tribe and one school district or BIE-
PO 00000

funded school. We expect that this
partnership will facilitate capacity
building within the community,
generating positive results and practices
for student college- and career-readiness
beyond the period of Federal financial
assistance. The requirement of a written
partnership agreement helps to ensure
that all relevant partners needed to
achieve the project goals are included
from the outset. Finally, grantees’
project evaluations should help inform
future practices that effectively improve
outcomes for AI/AN youth.
Priorities: This competition contains
one absolute priority and three
competitive preference priorities. In
accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(ii),
the absolute priority is from the
regulations at 34 CFR 263.21(c)(1) and
263.20. In accordance with 34 CFR
75.105(b)(2)(ii), competitive preference
priority one is from § 263.21(c)(5) of the
regulations, competitive preference
priority two is from § 263.21(b) of the
regulations, and competitive preference
priority three paragraph (b) is from
§ 263.21(c)(2) of the regulations.
Competitive preference priority three
paragraph (a) (relating to Promise
Zones) is from the notice of final
priority published in the Federal
Register on March 27, 2014 (79 FR
17035).
Absolute Priority: For FY 2016 and
any subsequent year in which we make
awards from the list of unfunded
applications from this competition, this
priority is an absolute priority. Under 34
CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only
applications that meet this priority.
This priority is:
Native Youth Community Projects. A
native youth community project is—
(1) Focused on a defined local
geographic area to be served by the
project;
(2) Centered on the goal of ensuring
that Indian students are prepared for
college and careers;
(3) Informed by evidence, which
could be either a needs assessment
conducted within the last three years or
other data analysis, on—
(i) The greatest barriers, both in and
out of school, to the readiness of local
Indian students for college and careers;
(ii) Opportunities in the local
community to support Indian students;
and
(iii) Existing local policies, programs,
practices, service providers, and
funding sources;
(4) Focused on one or more barriers or
opportunities with a community-based
strategy or strategies and measurable
objectives;
