WHO: The institution determined that all students were equally affected by the pandemic, since all education was campus based. The method used by the institution to determine which students should receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants was calculated by the total amount of funds available to students divided by the number of eligible students. Based on this calculation each student could receive up to $382.69 under the CARES Act.

Guidance to Students: The money will be made available to ALL active eligible students, regardless of previously qualifying for Financial Aid, that have incurred cost related to the disruption of campus operations due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. To be eligible for these funds, you will have to have completed a current year FAFSA, or complete one before submitting your request for reimbursement of those costs related to the disruption of campus operations due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. Please submit the request form completed with your current address. The completed form should be sent to


The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law to provide economic relief from COVID-19. One section of the CARES Act established the Higher Education Emergency Relief fund and sent money to schools to use for emergency financial aid grants to students for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the pandemic.
