ReturnReference Explanation
SCHEDULE F, PART I, LINE 2 Subrecipient grants - Lehigh University maintains a policy defining its procedures for monitoring the use of sponsored funds by subrecipients who are performing a portion of a sponsored project externally awarded to Lehigh. The policy provides guidance to ensure that subrecipients conduct their portions of sponsored projects in compliance with laws, regulations, terms and conditions of awards and subawards, and that reimbursed costs incurred by subrecipients are allowed. Other Assistance - Assistance offered from institutional funds to undergraduate Lehigh students is awarded on the basis of merit and/or financial need. The selection criteria is based on the calculated expected family contribution, which is derived by using complex formulas involving families' income, assets, and household sizes. The student financial aid office administers and monitors these grants using system-generated reviews, along with cross checks on an ad hoc basis. Results from these reviews are regularly evaluated. Subsequently, follow-up corrective actions are taken when appropriate, and potentially include award revisions or cancellations. These provisions are designed to help ensure that student assistance funds are awarded to eligible recipients, in accordance with applicable federal, state, institutional, and other program legislation, as well as relevant internal university policies and operational guidelines. Graduate assistance offered from institutional funds to our students consist of assistantships, fellowships and scholarships. Students can also apply for a variety of private, external fellowships and scholarships.
SCHEDULE F, PART I, LINE 3 INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT EXPENSES AND THE BOOK VALUE OF INVESTMENTS ARE REPORTED SEPARATELY FOR EACH REGION. ACTIVITIES AND EXPENDITURES OUTSIDE THE U.S. HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED ON A REASONABLE EFFORTS BASIS WHERE SUCH ACTIVITIES WERE NOT TRACKED SEPARATELY UNDER THE UNIVERSITY'S ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES.

EXPENDITURES OUTSIDE THE U.S. ARE REPORTED ON THE ACCRUAL BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AS ARE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
SCHEDULE F, PART III, COLUMN C NOTE THAT FOREIGN INDIVIDUALS ARE DEFINED AS THOSE LIVING OUTSIDE THE U.S. AT THE TIME THE AID WAS AWARDED. THE ABOVE IS A BEST ESTIMATE BASED ON CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING WHERE PERSONS WERE LIVING WHEN THE AID WAS AWARDED AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE DEGREE TO WHICH AID IS AWARDED TO INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.
