educational agency that serves an elementary or secondary school located in an area in which there is:

agreements? Follow guidelines in solicitation associated with your

award (NSF 12-525):The institution is responsible for collecting the repayment amounts, including

interest, in accordance with P.L. 110-69, SEC. 7030 , which specifies that the repayment of scholarships or stipends as loans by individuals who withdraw from the program or fail to complete the service requirement shall be payable to the Federal Government, consistent with the provisions of part B or D of title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
