Emergency Aid

Emergency Aid grant funds provide financial assistance for students who are facing unforeseen financial emergencies and catastrophic events that may disrupt their education. Emergency grants are not intended to pay for monthly or regular expenses or be a consistent supplement to a student’s education funding. Students may only receive emergency funding once per semester if approved for aid.

CARES Act Emergency Aid

Notice: Federal CARES Act funding is not a part of the CARE Dept (Campus Alliance for Resource Education). We are not accepting applications for CARES Act Emergency Aid. Eligible students will be contacted by the Financial Aid Office.
