This announcement provides information on the reallocation process, availability of the 2024–25 Campus-Based Reallocation Form, and action schools need to take to request supplemental funds for 2025–26. Schools use the reallocation process to release unexpended portions of their 2024–25 allocations in the Federal Work-Study (FWS) and/or Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) programs or to request supplemental 2025–26 FWS funds that will be used to employ students in community service jobs.
The 2024–25 Campus-Based Reallocation Form is now available on the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) website.
Each school should carefully examine its current expenditures under the FWS and FSEOG programs to determine whether there will be any unexpended funds available from 2024–25 allocations.
Schools that will have unspent funds should complete the Campus-Based Reallocation Form as described below. Unexpended 2024–25 funds will be used to provide supplemental FWS and/or FSEOG funds in 2025–26 to other eligible schools, but only if unexpended funds are reported by the deadline.
As announced in the Federal Register notice, “Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study, and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Programs: 2025–26 Award Year Deadline Dates,” the deadline date by which a school must electronically submit its 2024–25 Campus-Based Reallocation Form is Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2025.
The Campus-Based Reallocation Form must be completed if:
-
A school does not intend to spend its entire 2024–25 FWS or FSEOG allocation; or
-
A school wants to request supplemental 2025–26 FWS funds that will be used only for the purpose of employing students in community service jobs and the school had an FWS fair share shortfall as shown on line 28 of the school's 2025–26 final funding worksheet.
The Campus-Based Reallocation Form must be submitted electronically via the COD website once it becomes available. To submit the Campus-Based Reallocation Form:
-
Log into the COD website.
-
From the “School” tab, select “Campus-Based Syst” from the left navigation menu.
-
Select “Forms and Waivers” from the left navigation menu, then click on “Manage Application.”
-
Click on the “Create” button next to the Campus-Based Reallocation Form to begin to edit and submit.
FWS federal funds released on the Campus-Based Reallocation Form by the deadline date are not included in the calculation of the requirement to spend at least 7% of the FWS allocation to pay the federal share of compensation to students employed in community service positions.
