The purpose of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) is to present a summary of those activities of Macalester College (the College) that have been financed by the U.S. government (federal awards). Federal awards received directly from federal agencies are included in the Schedule, as are federal guaranteed loans disbursed by other sources. Additionally, all federal awards passed through from other entities have been included in the Schedule. The College is required to match certain grant agreements, as defined in the grants, and these matching amounts are not included in the Schedule. The information in the Schedule is presented in accordance with requirements of 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the College, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of Macalester College.
