CRRSAA Act: Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II

The college received $1,307,278 from the U.S. Department of Education through the CRRSAA: Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF II) designated to provide direct support to our students with course materials, housing, childcare, food or other COVID-19 related needs due to the disruption of campus operations. 

The CRRSAA requires that institutions prioritize students with exceptional need, such as students who receive Pell Grants, in awarding financial aid grants to students. For this reason, it is recommended that students complete the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). 学生不需要申请经济援助或获得佩尔助学金就有资格. Beyond Pell eligibility, 其他类型的特殊需求可能包括有资格获得其他联邦或州需求援助或面临重大意外费用的学生, such as the loss of employment (either for themselves or their families), reduced income, or food or housing insecurity. 没有完成FAFSA申请的学生必须自行证明其公民身份和紧急相关费用. In addition, CRRSAA明确规定,可以向专门参加远程教育的学生提供助学金. 这些补助金用于支付其出席费用的任何组成部分或因冠状病毒引起的紧急费用, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care) or child care. 学生决定如何在允许的用途内使用他们的紧急经济援助补助金.
