The amount of each Higher Education Recovery Award will be determined by a formula including the elements noted below and the number of Pell Grant recipients enrolled at the institution in FY 2005 (all references to fiscal years (FY) in this document refer to the applicant institution's fiscal years). This formula will be used to allocate an equitable proportion of available funds to each impacted institution. This application does not constitute a “claim” for a certain amount of funds.

Please fill in the following figures, rounding each to the nearest $1000:

1. Tuition and fees revenue lost by this institution as a result of hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico in calendar year 2005: $__________________

For the purposes of the Hurricane Education Recovery Awards, "tuition and fees revenue lost" is defined as the decrease in net tuition and fees revenue in FY 2006 compared to the institution’s FY 2005 financial statements. The tuition and fees category includes all tuition and fees (net of refunds, bad debt estimates, and any discounts recognized) assessed for educational purposes. This is consistent with the definition used by the IPEDS Finance survey.

2. Expenses already incurred by the institution in remediation of the effects of hurricanes: $______________________

3. Estimated construction costs to repair or replace campus buildings damaged by the hurricanes: $_______________________________

For the purposes of these awards, "estimated construction costs" is defined as costs incurred, or reasonably expected to be incurred in the future, to repair or replace facilities damaged by a hurricane in 2005, as calculated for a third party such as the Federal Emergency Management Administration, the state, or insurance claims. Do not include any expenses included in #2 above.

4. Please estimate how much of the expenses described in lines 1-3 above will be or has been reimbursed by insurance or other Federal agency, foundation or charitable outlays for hurricane relief? $ _________________
