Section 312 of the HEA and 34 CFR
607.2–607.5 include most of the basic
eligibility requirements for grant
programs authorized under titles III and
V of the HEA. Section 312(b)(1)(B) of the
HEA provides that, to be eligible for

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 241 / Monday, December 16, 2019 / Notices
these programs, an institution of higher
education’s average ‘‘educational and
general expenditures’’ (E&G) per fulltime equivalent (FTE) undergraduate
student must be less than the average
E&G expenditures per FTE
undergraduate student of institutions
that offer similar instruction in that
year.
The National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) calculates Core
Expenses per FTE of institutions, a
statistic similar to E&G per FTE. Both
E&G per FTE and Core Expenses per
FTE are based on regular operational
expenditures of institutions (excluding
auxiliary enterprises, independent
operations, and hospital expenses).
They differ only in that E&G per FTE is
based on fall undergraduate enrollment,
while Core Expenses per FTE is based
on 12-month undergraduate enrollment
for the academic year.
To avoid inconsistency in the data
submitted to, and produced by, the
Department, for the purpose of section
312(b)(1)(B) of the HEA, E&G per FTE is
calculated using the same methodology
as Core Expenses per FTE. Accordingly,
the Department will apply the NCES
methodology for calculating Core
Expenses per FTE. Institutions
requesting an eligibility exemption
determination must use the Core
Expenses per FTE data reported to
NCES’ Integrated Postsecondary
Education Data System (IPEDS) for the
most currently available academic year,
in this case academic year 2017–2018.

Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Programs: The Part A SIP,
Part A ANNH, Part A PBI, Part A
NASNTI, and Part A AANAPISI
programs are authorized under title III,
part A, of the HEA. The HSI and PPOHA
programs are authorized under title V of
the HEA. The Part F, HSI STEM and
Articulation, Part F PBI, Part F
AANAPISI, Part F ANNH, and Part F
NASNTI programs are authorized under
title III, part F of the HEA. Please note
that certain programs in this notice have
the same or similar names as other
programs that are authorized under a
different statutory authority. For this
reason, we specify the statutory
authority as part of the acronym for
certain programs.
Under the programs discussed above,
institutions are eligible to apply for
grants if they meet specific statutory and
regulatory eligibility requirements. An
institution of higher education that is
designated as an eligible institution may
also receive a waiver of certain non-
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
Federal cost-sharing requirements for
one year under the Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant (FSEOG) program authorized by
title IV, part A of the HEA and the
Federal Work-Study (FWS) program
authorized by section 443 of the HEA.
Qualified (eligible) institutions may
receive the FSEOG and FWS waivers for
one year even if they do not receive a
grant under a title III or V grant
program. An applicant that receives a
grant from the Student Support Services
(SSS) program that is authorized under
section 402D of the HEA, 20 U.S.C.
1070a-14, may receive a waiver of the
required non-Federal cost share for
institutions for the duration of the grant.
An applicant that receives a grant from
the Undergraduate International Studies
and Foreign Language (UISFL) program
that is authorized under section 604 of
the HEA, 20 U.S.C. 1124, may receive a
waiver or reduction of the required nonFederal cost share for institutions for the
duration of the grant.
Special Note: To qualify as an eligible
institution under the grant programs
listed in this notice, your institution
must satisfy several criteria. For most of
these programs, these criteria include
those that relate to the enrollment of
needy students and to the Core
Expenses per FTE student count for a
specified base year. The most recent
data available in IPEDS for Core
Expenses per FTE are for base year
2017–2018. In order to award FY 2020
grants in a timely manner, we will use
these data to evaluate eligibility.
Accordingly, each institution
interested in either applying for a new
grant under the titles III or V programs
addressed in this notice, or requesting a
waiver of the non-Federal cost share,
must be designated as an eligible
institution in FY 2020. Under the HEA,
any institution interested in applying
for a grant under any of these programs
must first be designated as an eligible
institution. (34 CFR 606.5 and 607.5).
Eligible Applicants
The eligibility requirements for the
programs authorized under part A of
title III of the HEA are in sections 312
and 317–320 of the HEA (20 U.S.C.
1058, 1059d-1059g) and in 34 CFR 607.2
through 607.5. The regulations may be

requirements for the programs
authorized by part F of title III of the
HEA are in section 371 of the HEA (20
U.S.C. 1067q). There are currently no
specific regulations for these programs.

The requirements for the PPOHA
program are in part B of title V of the
HEA and in the notice of final
requirements published in the Federal
Register on July 27, 2010 (75 FR 44055),
and in 34 CFR 606.2(a) and (b), and
606.3 through 606.5.
The Department has instituted a
process known as the Eligibility Matrix
(EM), under which we will use
information submitted by institutions to
IPEDS to determine which institutions
meet the basic eligibility requirements
for the programs authorized by titles III
or V of the HEA listed above. We will
use enrollment and fiscal data for the
2017–2018 year submitted by
institutions to IPEDS to make eligibility
determinations for FY 2020. Beginning
December 16, 2019, an institution will
be able to review the Department’s
decision on whether it is eligible for the
grant programs authorized by title III or
V of the HEA through this process by
checking the institution’s eligibility in
the eligibility system linked through the
Department’s Institutional Service
Eligibility website: https://www2.ed.gov/
about/offices/list/ope/idues/
eligibility.html.
Please note that through this process,
the Department does not certify, nor
designate, an institution as a
Historically Black College or University,
Tribally Controlled College or
University, Minority-Serving Institution,
or Hispanic-Serving Institution. The
Department’s determination that an
institution is eligible is solely for the
purpose of the institution’s ability to
apply for and receive grants under
certain programs as discussed in this
notice.
The EM is part of the Department’s
eligibility data system. The EM is a
read-only worksheet that lists all
potentially eligible postsecondary
institutions, as determined by the
Department using the data described
above. If the entry for your institution in
the EM shows that your institution is
eligible to apply for a grant for a
particular program, and you plan to
submit an application for a grant in that
program, you will not need to apply for
eligibility or for a waiver through the
process described in this notice. Rather,
you may print out the eligibility letter
directly. However, if the EM does not
show that your institution is eligible for
a program in which you plan to apply
E:\FR\FM\16DEN1.SGM
16DEN1
68436
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 241 / Monday, December 16, 2019 / Notices
for a grant, you must submit an
application as discussed in this notice
before the January 31, 2020 deadline.
To check your institution’s eligibility
in the EM, go to https://HEPIS.ed.gov,
and log into the system using your email
address and password. If you are not
sure whether you have an account in the
system, click the ‘‘New User’’ button. If
you have an account, it will walk you
through setup. Note that it may take up
to five business days to verify user
identity and to complete new account
setup, so please allow yourself enough
time to complete the application. If the
Grant Eligibility Application (GEA)
system is open, click the link on your
dashboard to check your institution’s
eligibility status by clicking the ‘‘View
pre-Eligibility Information’’ button.
Your institution’s eligibility information
will display.
If the EM does not show that your
institution is eligible for a program, or
if your institution does not appear in the
eligibility system, or if you disagree
with the eligibility determination
reflected in the eligibility system, you
can apply for a waiver or
reconsideration through the process
described in this notice. The application
process is similar to previous years; you
will choose the waiver option on the
website at https://HEPIS.ed.gov/ and
submit your institution’s application.
Enrollment of Needy Students: For
title III and V programs (excluding the
PBI programs), an institution is
considered to have an enrollment of
needy students if: (1) At least 50 percent
of its degree-seeking students received
financial assistance under the Federal
Pell Grant, FSEOG, FWS, or the Federal
Perkins Loan programs; or (2) the
percentage of its undergraduate degreeseeking students who were enrolled on
at least a half-time basis and received
Federal Pell Grants exceeded the
average percentage of undergraduate
degree students who were enrolled on at
least a half-time basis and received
Federal Pell Grants at comparable
institutions that offer similar
instruction.
To qualify under criterion 2, an
institution’s Federal Pell Grant
percentage for base year 2017–2018
must be more than the average for its
category of comparable institutions
provided in the 2017–2018 Average Pell
Grant and Core Expenses per FTE
Student table in this notice. If your
institution qualifies under the first
criterion, under which at least 50
percent of its degree-seeking students
received financial assistance under one
of several Federal student aid programs
(the Federal Pell Grant, FSEOG, FWS, or
the Federal Perkins Loan programs), but
not the second criterion, under which
an institution’s Federal Pell Grant
percentage for base year 2017–2018
must be more than the average for its
category of comparable institutions
provided in the 2017–2018 Average Pell
Grant and Core Expenses per FTE
student table in this notice, you must
submit an application including the
requested data, which is not available in
IPEDS.
For the definition of ‘‘Enrollment of
Needy Students,’’ for purposes of the
Part A PBI program, see section
318(b)(2) of the HEA, and for purposes
of the Part F PBI program, see section
371(c)(9) of the HEA.
Core Expenses per FTE Student: For
the Title III, Part A SIP; Part A ANNH;
Part A PBI; Part A NASNTI; Part A
AANAPISI; Title III, Part F HSI STEM
and Articulation; Part F PBI; Part F
AANAPISI; Part F ANNH; Part F
NASNTI; Title V, Part A HSI; and Title
V, Part B PPOHA programs, an
institution should compare its base year
2017–2018 Core Expenses per FTE
student to the average Core Expenses
per FTE student for its category of
comparable institutions in the base year
2017–2018 Average Pell Grant and
Average Core Expenses per FTE Student
Table in this notice. The institution
meets this eligibility requirement under
these programs if its Core Expenses for
the 2017–2018 base year are less than
the average for its category of
comparable institutions.
Core Expenses are defined as the total
expenses for the essential education
activities of the institution. Core
Expenses for public institutions
reporting under the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
requirements include expenses for
instruction, research, public service,
academic support, student services,
institutional support, operation and
maintenance of plant, depreciation,
scholarships and fellowships, interest,
and other operating and non-operating
expenses. Core Expenses for institutions
reporting under the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
standards (primarily private, not-forprofit, and for-profit) include expenses
for instruction, research, public service,
academic support, student services,
institutional support, net grant aid to
students, and other expenses. Do not
include Federal student financial aid.
For both FASB and GASB institutions,
Core Expenses do not include expenses
for auxiliary enterprises (e.g.,
bookstores, dormitories), hospitals, and
independent operations.
The following table identifies the
relevant average Federal Pell Grant
percentages for the base year 2017–2018
and the relevant Core Expenses per FTE
student for the base year 2017–2018 for
the four categories of comparable

Note: We use the 2018 annual low-income
levels because those are the amounts that
apply to the family income reported by
students enrolled for the fall 2017 semester.
For family units with more than eight
members, add the following amount for each
additional family member: $6,480 for the
contiguous 48 States, the District of
Columbia, and outlying jurisdictions; $8,100
for Alaska; and $7,455 for Hawaii.
The figures shown under family
income represent amounts equal to 150
percent of the family income levels
established by the U.S. Census Bureau
for determining poverty status. The
poverty guidelines were published on

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Eligibility Designations and Applications for Waiving Eligibility
Requirements; Programs Under Parts A and F of Title III and Programs
Under Title V of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as Amended (HEA)
AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary Education, Department of Education
(Department).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department announces the process for designation of
eligible institutions and invites applications for waivers of
eligibility requirements for fiscal year (FY) 2020, for the following
programs:
1. Programs authorized under title III, part A of the HEA:
Strengthening Institutions Program (Part A SIP), Alaska Native and
Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions (Part A ANNH), Predominantly Black
Institutions (Part A PBI), Native American-Serving Nontribal
Institutions (Part A NASNTI), and Asian American and Native American
Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (Part A AANAPISI).
2. Programs authorized under title III, part F of the HEA:

and Articulation), Predominantly Black Institutions (Part F PBI),
Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions (Part F ANNH),
Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions (Part F NASNTI), and
Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving
Institutions (Part F AANAPISI).
Note: The authority to award new grants under section 371 of the
HEA expired at the end of FY 2019. However, we will review applications
for eligibility should Congress renew the Department's authority to
award new grants under this section.
3. Programs authorized under title V of the HEA: Developing
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) and Promoting Postbaccalaureate
Opportunities for Hispanic Americans (PPOHA).
DATES:
Applications Available: December 16, 2019.
Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: January 15, 2020.

Section 312 of the HEA and 34 CFR 607.2-607.5 include most of the
basic eligibility requirements for grant programs authorized under
titles III and V of the HEA. Section 312(b)(1)(B) of the HEA provides
that, to be eligible for
[[Page 68435]]
these programs, an institution of higher education's average
``educational and general expenditures'' (E&G) per full-time equivalent
(FTE) undergraduate student must be less than the average E&G
expenditures per FTE undergraduate student of institutions that offer
similar instruction in that year.
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) calculates Core
Expenses per FTE of institutions, a statistic similar to E&G per FTE.
Both E&G per FTE and Core Expenses per FTE are based on regular
operational expenditures of institutions (excluding auxiliary
enterprises, independent operations, and hospital expenses). They
differ only in that E&G per FTE is based on fall undergraduate
enrollment, while Core Expenses per FTE is based on 12-month
undergraduate enrollment for the academic year.
To avoid inconsistency in the data submitted to, and produced by,
the Department, for the purpose of section 312(b)(1)(B) of the HEA, E&G
per FTE is calculated using the same methodology as Core Expenses per
FTE. Accordingly, the Department will apply the NCES methodology for
calculating Core Expenses per FTE. Institutions requesting an
eligibility exemption determination must use the Core Expenses per FTE
data reported to NCES' Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System
(IPEDS) for the most currently available academic year, in this case
academic year 2017-2018.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Programs: The Part A SIP, Part A ANNH, Part A PBI, Part
A NASNTI, and Part A AANAPISI programs are authorized under title III,
part A, of the HEA. The HSI and PPOHA programs are authorized under
title V of the HEA. The Part F, HSI STEM and Articulation, Part F PBI,
Part F AANAPISI, Part F ANNH, and Part F NASNTI programs are authorized
under title III, part F of the HEA. Please note that certain programs
in this notice have the same or similar names as other programs that
are authorized under a different statutory authority. For this reason,
we specify the statutory authority as part of the acronym for certain
programs.
Under the programs discussed above, institutions are eligible to
apply for grants if they meet specific statutory and regulatory
eligibility requirements. An institution of higher education that is
designated as an eligible institution may also receive a waiver of
certain non-Federal cost-sharing requirements for one year under the
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) program
authorized by title IV, part A of the HEA and the Federal Work-Study
(FWS) program authorized by section 443 of the HEA. Qualified
(eligible) institutions may receive the FSEOG and FWS waivers for one
year even if they do not receive a grant under a title III or V grant
program. An applicant that receives a grant from the Student Support
Services (SSS) program that is authorized under section 402D of the
HEA, 20 U.S.C. 1070a-14, may receive a waiver of the required non-
Federal cost share for institutions for the duration of the grant. An
applicant that receives a grant from the Undergraduate International
Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL) program that is authorized under
section 604 of the HEA, 20 U.S.C. 1124, may receive a waiver or
reduction of the required non-Federal cost share for institutions for
the duration of the grant.
Special Note: To qualify as an eligible institution under the grant
programs listed in this notice, your institution must satisfy several
criteria. For most of these programs, these criteria include those that
relate to the enrollment of needy students and to the Core Expenses per
FTE student count for a specified base year. The most recent data
available in IPEDS for Core Expenses per FTE are for base year 2017-
2018. In order to award FY 2020 grants in a timely manner, we will use
these data to evaluate eligibility.
Accordingly, each institution interested in either applying for a
new grant under the titles III or V programs addressed in this notice,
or requesting a waiver of the non-Federal cost share, must be
designated as an eligible institution in FY 2020. Under the HEA, any
institution interested in applying for a grant under any of these
programs must first be designated as an eligible institution. (34 CFR
606.5 and 607.5).
Eligible Applicants
The eligibility requirements for the programs authorized under part
A of title III of the HEA are in sections 312 and 317-320 of the HEA
(20 U.S.C. 1058, 1059d-1059g) and in 34 CFR 607.2 through 607.5. The
regulations may be accessed at www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=bc12bf5d685021e069cd1a15352b381a&mc=true&node=pt34.3.607&rgn=div5. The eligibility requirements for the programs authorized by part F
of title III of the HEA are in section 371 of the HEA (20 U.S.C.
1067q). There are currently no specific regulations for these programs.
The eligibility requirements for the title V HSI program are in
part A of title V of the HEA and in 34 CFR 606.2 through 34 CFR 606.5.
The regulations may be accessed at www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=bc12bf5d685021e069cd1a15352b381a&mc=true&node=pt34.3.606&rgn=div5l.
The requirements for the PPOHA program are in part B of title V of
the HEA and in the notice of final requirements published in the
Federal Register on July 27, 2010 (75 FR 44055), and in 34 CFR 606.2(a)
and (b), and 606.3 through 606.5.
The Department has instituted a process known as the Eligibility
Matrix (EM), under which we will use information submitted by
institutions to IPEDS to determine which institutions meet the basic
eligibility requirements for the programs authorized by titles III or V
of the HEA listed above. We will use enrollment and fiscal data for the
2017-2018 year submitted by institutions to IPEDS to make eligibility
determinations for FY 2020. Beginning December 16, 2019, an institution
will be able to review the Department's decision on whether it is
eligible for the grant programs authorized by title III or V of the HEA
through this process by checking the institution's eligibility in the
eligibility system linked through the Department's Institutional
Service Eligibility website: https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/idues/eligibility.html.
Please note that through this process, the Department does not
certify, nor designate, an institution as a Historically Black College
or University, Tribally Controlled College or University, Minority-
Serving Institution, or Hispanic-Serving Institution. The Department's
determination that an institution is eligible is solely for the purpose
of the institution's ability to apply for and receive grants under
certain programs as discussed in this notice.
The EM is part of the Department's eligibility data system. The EM
is a read-only worksheet that lists all potentially eligible
postsecondary institutions, as determined by the Department using the
data described above. If the entry for your institution in the EM shows
that your institution is eligible to apply for a grant for a particular
program, and you plan to submit an application for a grant in that
program, you will not need to apply for eligibility or for a waiver
through the process described in this notice. Rather, you may print out
the eligibility letter directly. However, if the EM does not show that
your institution is eligible for a program in which you plan to apply
[[Page 68436]]
for a grant, you must submit an application as discussed in this notice
before the January 31, 2020 deadline.
To check your institution's eligibility in the EM, go to https://HEPIS.ed.gov, and log into the system using your email address and
password. If you are not sure whether you have an account in the
system, click the ``New User'' button. If you have an account, it will
walk you through setup. Note that it may take up to five business days
to verify user identity and to complete new account setup, so please
allow yourself enough time to complete the application. If the Grant
Eligibility Application (GEA) system is open, click the link on your
dashboard to check your institution's eligibility status by clicking
the ``View pre-Eligibility Information'' button. Your institution's
eligibility information will display.
If the EM does not show that your institution is eligible for a
program, or if your institution does not appear in the eligibility
system, or if you disagree with the eligibility determination reflected
in the eligibility system, you can apply for a waiver or
reconsideration through the process described in this notice. The
application process is similar to previous years; you will choose the
waiver option on the website at https://HEPIS.ed.gov/ and submit your
institution's application.
Enrollment of Needy Students: For title III and V programs
(excluding the PBI programs), an institution is considered to have an
enrollment of needy students if: (1) At least 50 percent of its degree-
seeking students received financial assistance under the Federal Pell
Grant, FSEOG, FWS, or the Federal Perkins Loan programs; or (2) the
percentage of its undergraduate degree-seeking students who were
enrolled on at least a half-time basis and received Federal Pell Grants
exceeded the average percentage of undergraduate degree students who
were enrolled on at least a half-time basis and received Federal Pell
Grants at comparable institutions that offer similar instruction.
To qualify under criterion 2, an institution's Federal Pell Grant
percentage for base year 2017-2018 must be more than the average for
its category of comparable institutions provided in the 2017-2018
Average Pell Grant and Core Expenses per FTE Student table in this
notice. If your institution qualifies under the first criterion, under
which at least 50 percent of its degree-seeking students received
financial assistance under one of several Federal student aid programs
(the Federal Pell Grant, FSEOG, FWS, or the Federal Perkins Loan
programs), but not the second criterion, under which an institution's
Federal Pell Grant percentage for base year 2017-2018 must be more than
the average for its category of comparable institutions provided in the
2017-2018 Average Pell Grant and Core Expenses per FTE student table in
this notice, you must submit an application including the requested
data, which is not available in IPEDS.
For the definition of ``Enrollment of Needy Students,'' for
purposes of the Part A PBI program, see section 318(b)(2) of the HEA,
and for purposes of the Part F PBI program, see section 371(c)(9) of
the HEA.
Core Expenses per FTE Student: For the Title III, Part A SIP; Part
A ANNH; Part A PBI; Part A NASNTI; Part A AANAPISI; Title III, Part F
HSI STEM and Articulation; Part F PBI; Part F AANAPISI; Part F ANNH;
Part F NASNTI; Title V, Part A HSI; and Title V, Part B PPOHA programs,
an institution should compare its base year 2017-2018 Core Expenses per
FTE student to the average Core Expenses per FTE student for its
category of comparable institutions in the base year 2017-2018 Average
Pell Grant and Average Core Expenses per FTE Student Table in this
notice. The institution meets this eligibility requirement under these
programs if its Core Expenses for the 2017-2018 base year are less than
the average for its category of comparable institutions.
Core Expenses are defined as the total expenses for the essential
education activities of the institution. Core Expenses for public
institutions reporting under the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) requirements include expenses for instruction, research,
public service, academic support, student services, institutional
support, operation and maintenance of plant, depreciation, scholarships
and fellowships, interest, and other operating and non-operating
expenses. Core Expenses for institutions reporting under the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) standards (primarily private, not-
for-profit, and for-profit) include expenses for instruction, research,
public service, academic support, student services, institutional
support, net grant aid to students, and other expenses. Do not include
Federal student financial aid. For both FASB and GASB institutions,
Core Expenses do not include expenses for auxiliary enterprises (e.g.,
bookstores, dormitories), hospitals, and independent operations.
The following table identifies the relevant average Federal Pell
Grant percentages for the base year 2017-2018 and the relevant Core
Expenses per FTE student for the base year 2017-2018 for the four
categories of comparable institutions:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waiver Information: Institutions that do not meet the needy student
enrollment requirement or the Core Expenses per FTE requirement may
apply to the Secretary for a waiver of these requirements, as described
in sections 392 and 522 of the HEA, and the implementing regulations at
34 CFR 606.3(b), 606.4(c) and (d), 607.3(b), and 607.4(c) and (d).
Institutions requesting a waiver of the needy student enrollment
requirement or the Core Expenses per FTE requirement must include in
their application detailed evidence supporting the waiver request, as
described in the instructions for completing the application.
[[Page 68437]]
The regulations governing the Secretary's authority to grant a
waiver of the needy student requirement, 34 CFR 606.3(b)(2) and (3) and
607.3(b)(2) and (3), refer to ``low-income'' students or families. The
regulations at 34 CFR 606.3(c) and 607.3(c) define ``low-income'' as an
amount that does not exceed 150 percent of the amount equal to the
poverty level, as established by the U.S. Census Bureau.
For the purposes of this waiver provision, the following table sets
forth the low-income levels (at 150 percent) for various sizes of
families:
2018 Annual Low-Income Levels
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Family income
for the 48
contiguous Family income Family income
Size of family unit states, DC, for Alaska for Hawaii
and outlying
jurisdictions

8............................................................... 63,570 79,470 73,125
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: We use the 2018 annual low-income levels because those are
the amounts that apply to the family income reported by students
enrolled for the fall 2017 semester. For family units with more than
eight members, add the following amount for each additional family
member: $6,480 for the contiguous 48 States, the District of
Columbia, and outlying jurisdictions; $8,100 for Alaska; and $7,455
for Hawaii.
The figures shown under family income represent amounts equal to
150 percent of the family income levels established by the U.S. Census
Bureau for determining poverty status. The poverty guidelines were
published on January 18, 2018, in the Federal Register by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (83 FR 2642).
Information about ``metropolitan statistical areas'' referenced in
34 CFR 606.3(b)(4) and 607.3(b)(4) may be obtained at: www.census.gov/prod/2010pubs/10smadb/appendixc.pdf and www.census.gov/prod/2008pubs/07ccdb/appd.pdf.

does not appear in the eligibility system as one that is eligible for
the program under which you plan to apply for a grant, you must submit
an application for a waiver of the eligibility requirements. To request
a waiver, you must upload a narrative at: https://HEPIS.ED.gov.
