Catalog of Federal Education Assistance Programs--1976: An Indexed Guide to the Federal Government's Programs Offering Educational Benefits to the American People.

This catalog is composed of brief descriptions of, and extensive indexes to, federal programs that provide educational benefits to the American public. It includes programs administered by the U.S. Office of Education as well as those administered by other federal agencies. The federal education assistance programs are aimed at all educational levels (preschool through postsecondary). Each program description in this catalog tells the specific type of assistance provided, the purpose for which it is available, who can apply for it, and where to apply. The programs described deal with financial assistance, with the use of federal property, goods, and services, and with technical assistance, counseling, and professional training. The catalog incorporates various indexes, including a public law index, a U.S. Code index, and a beneficiary index listing who is elegible for assistance program support. (Author/DS)
