The students must indicate why they need financial support for their expenses as related to the disruption of campus operations due to the Coronavirus. Once the form is received by our financial aid office, they will determine, based on the information provided, if the student is eligible to receive this grant. The COVID grant is $1000 per student. Once all applications have been received, we will accept a second round of applications from same cohort of students on a first-come, first-serve basis after three months.

Student Guidance

Students are advised that they are receiving the COVID grant to use for Education Expenses/Course Materials/Technology, Food/Housing, Healthcare/Childcare, and Job Loss/Furlough experienced due to the disruption of their education. They were advised to purchase a Chromebook, WIFI or hotspot in case we had to go resume distance education.
