program staff and peer reviewers will use the information to evaluate
applications and make funding decisions. The purpose of SIP is to
provide grants to eligible institutions of higher education (IHEs) to
help them become self sufficient and expand their capacity to serve
low-income students by providing funds to improve and strengthen their
academic quality, institutional management and fiscal stability.
This information collection is being submitted under the
