The Federal Pell Grant program is a student financial assistance program authorized under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. The program provides grant assistance to an eligible student attending an institution of higher education. The institution determines the student's award and disburses program funds on behalf of the Department of Education (ED).
Institutions are required to report student Pell Grant payment information to ED electronically. Electronic reporting is conducted through the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system. The COD system is used by institutions to request, report and reconcile grant funds received from the Pell Grant program.
This is a request for an extension of the current collection package. There is a decrease in the burden hours of 96,222 due to the anticipated decrease in the number of eligible Pell Grant recipients. There is no change in the underlying statute or regulations.
