The Higher Education Act of 1965, codified at 20 U.S.C. Chapter 28, is the principal federal statute governing United States postsecondary education policy, federal student financial assistance, and the conditions institutions must meet to participate in those programs, administered by the Department of Education. Section 1001 defines an institution of higher education for the chapter generally, requiring State authorization, accreditation by a nationally recognized agency, and award of recognized degrees or credit. Section 1002 sets the broader definition of an eligible institution for purposes of the student assistance programs, including proprietary and postsecondary vocational institutions. Section 1011 sets general provisions including antidiscrimination requirements. Section 1070 states the purpose of and authorizes the Federal Pell Grant and related need-based grant programs. Section 1078 governs federal payments to reduce student interest costs under the Federal Family Education Loan program. Section 1087 governs repayment by the Secretary of loans of bankrupt, deceased, or disabled borrowers and related loan provisions. Section 1092 requires institutions to disclose financial assistance, completion, and campus security information to students, the basis of the Clery Act reporting duties. Section 1094 requires each participating institution to enter a program participation agreement committing to administer Title IV aid in compliance with the Act. The Act is the foundational statute for federal higher education funding and institutional compliance.
