CloseDateExplanation: Applications Available: June 14, 2010. Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: July 14, 2010. On June 14, 2010, we published in the Federal Register (75 FR 33593) a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2010 under certain Personnel Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities competitions authorized under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. We are correcting the use of the word ``scholar&apos;&apos; in the Special Education Preservice Program Improvement Grants (84.325T) priority in the notice published on June 14, 2010 (75 FR 33599-33601) because scholars, as defined in 34 CFR 304.3(g), receive scholarship assistance while, under this priority, financial support is not available to students during any year of the project.      On page 33600, third column, paragraphs (a)(6)(i) and (a)(6)(ii), we remove the word ``scholars&apos;&apos; and replace it with the term ``program graduates&apos;&apos;. In addition, on page 33600, third column, we remove footnote number 22 that defines ``scholar&apos;&apos;. And finally, on page 33600, third column, paragraph (b)(2), and page 33601, first column, paragraph (g), we remove the word ``scholars&apos;&apos; and replace it with the term ``students&apos;&apos;.
