Awarded funds are disbursed with 60 percent available upon execution of a grant agreement and the remaining 40 percent provided on a reimbursement basis. Performance is measured by graduation rates, with a successful program defined as having at least 60 percent of the cohort graduate, while rates below 40 percent will trigger an investigation. Grantees are required to submit annual reports every June 30 and a final post-project report one year after the project concludes.
