SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On August 12, 2022, we published the NIA for the Postsecondary Student Success Program competition in the Federal Register (87 FR 49811), and we published an NIA correction notice on September 16, 2022 (87 FR 56937). Under the NIA, applications are due on October 11, 2022. We are extending the deadline date for transmittal of applications for affected applicants, which are applicants from: Puerto Rico due to a declared disaster caused by Hurricane Fiona ( https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4671 ); the portions of Alaska with declared disaster designations caused by ex-Typhoon Merbok ( https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4672 ); and areas under a Presidential major disaster or emergency declaration resulting from Hurricane Ian, which include Florida ( https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4673 ), the Seminole Tribe of Florida ( https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4675 ), North Carolina ( https://www.fema.gov/disaster/3586 ), and South Carolina ( https://www.fema.gov/disaster/3585 ) in order to allow applicants from these jurisdictions more time to prepare and submit their applications.
Eligibility: The application deadline extension applies only to eligible applicants under the Postsecondary Student Success competition that are affected applicants. An eligible applicant for this competition is defined in the NIA. To qualify as an affected applicant, the applicant must have a mailing address that is located in one of the federally declared disaster areas listed above and must provide appropriate supporting documentation, if requested.
Affected applicants that have already timely submitted applications under the FY 2022 Postsecondary Student Success competition may submit a new application on or before the new application deadline of October 18, 2022, but they are not required to do so. If a new application is not submitted, the Department will use the application that was submitted by the original deadline. If a new application is submitted, the Department will consider the application that is last submitted and timely received by 11:59:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 18, 2022. Any application submitted by an affected applicant under the extended deadline must contain evidence ( e.g., the applicant organization's mailing address) that the applicant is located in one of the applicable federally declared disaster areas and, if requested, must provide appropriate supporting documentation.
The application period is not extended for all applicants. Applications from applicants that are not affected, as defined above, will not be accepted past the original October 11, 2022, application deadline.
Note: All requirements and conditions in the NIA, as corrected on September 16, 2022, remain the same, except for the deadline date for affected applicants.
