The clock is ticking for schools to release any 2024-25 campus-based funds which haven’t been used.
A July 10 Electronic Announcement outlines the reallocation process, the availability of the 2024-25 Campus-Based Reallocation Form, and what schools need to do to request supplemental funds for 2025-26.
The Department of Education advises that schools review their current expenditures under the Federal Work-Study (FWS) and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) to determine if they have unexpended funds that need to be returned to the Department.
Schools will need to electronically submit the 2024-25 Campus-Based Reallocation Form through the COD website by the August 20 deadline.
The form must be completed when a school:
- does not intend to spend its entire 2024-25 FWS or FSEOG allocation; or
- wants to request supplemental 2025-26 FWS funds that will only be used for students in community service jobs and the school had an FWS fair share shortfall on line 28 of its 2025-26 final funding worksheet.
The announcement also provides more information about the reallocation process and the impact to the minimum seven percent community service expenditure of Federal Work-Study funds.
Schools with questions can contact the FSA Partner and School Relations Center at 800-848-0978 or by email at CODSupport@ed.gov.
