CARES Act emergency grant

This emergency relief program provides federal grant assistance to eligible degree-seeking students who experienced financial disruptions due to the coronavirus pandemic. The funding is designed to help students cover essential expenses associated with the disruption of campus operations, such as housing, food, utilities, course materials, technology, healthcare, and childcare. To qualify, students must meet Title IV federal student aid eligibility criteria, including maintaining satisfactory academic progress and holding valid citizenship or eligible noncitizen status. The university reviews applications on an ongoing basis and distributes funds directly to students via check. These emergency grants do not impact a student's standard financial aid package, do not need to be repaid, and are not considered taxable income.
