What types of reports must institutions that accept RSA training grants make to the Department of Education about scholars?
Training institutions (grantees) are required to file the “RSA Training Payback Reporting Form” within 30 days after the end of each project budget period for which the training institution is funded. This form will allow RSA to obtain sufficient information in order to determine whether the Long‑term Training program meets its broad purpose and to submit reports to Congress on whether scholars meet their work requirements. The Payback Reporting Form must be submitted by the grantee each year until all scholars have completed their work obligations in order for the grantee to receive Federal scholarship funding. Thus, forms will be submitted for a number of years beyond which the project is supported with Federal funds. Training institutions must report ALL scholars to whom scholarships have been provided since 1987. Failure to report scholars may result in a cost disallowance found through an audit and may affect their ability to receive future grants.
