In response to the global COVID-19 Pandemic, the U.S. Government has provided HEERF III grants which can only be used for expenses from any component of a student’s cost of attendance and/or emergency costs that arise due to the coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care) or child care incurred. Note: A student may elect to apply for their HEERF III grant directly to their student account by consenting to the application.If an eligible student can substantiate costs associated with the disruption from COVID-19, the student is encouraged to submit a request for funds through this application. The student must attest to the need for additional grant funds for the purposes permitted by law in the box below and sign as indicated.
Because the amount of the CARES Act funding is limited, the College does not guarantee additional funding to any student, but each application received will be considered until the funds are exhausted or the application closes. The College reserves the right to use its discretion in evaluating the applications and determining the amount of each award which may include establishing a maximum amount.
You may have your funds applied directly to your balance or provided to you via check. Please make sure that you document how you request the funds to be dispersed. Please be sure your address and phone number is correct on the portal to ensure timely delivery.
