Section 18004(e) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act” or the “Act”)), Pub. L. No. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281 (March 27, 2020), directs institutions receiving funds under Section 18004 of the Act to submit a report to the Secretary describing the use of funds distributed from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (“HEERF”). Section 18004(c) of the CARES Act requires institutions to use no less than 50 percent of the funds received from Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act to provide Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus (including eligible expenses under a student’s cost of attendance such as food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and child care).

On April 27, 2020, 极乐禁地 received $1,190,677 as the first 50% portion of its funding.  This funding will be used to make student emergency grants.

  6. An application was created for students to use in expressing their desire to receive emergency funding and to what extent their needs existed. All applications were reviewed by a team from the Office of Student Financial Services. Those that were approved received funding consistent with their requests, but not to exceed maximum Pell Grant levels of $6,195. Not all funding for students was utilized through this application review process. Therefore, the remaining funds were divided evenly among all spring 2020 Pell Grant recipients. Those awards were set at $1,300 each. For all 786 recipients, the average grant was $1,643.54. The range of grants started at $657 and ended at $6,195.

Once all applications were reviewed, decisions were made and additional expenditures for Pell Grant recipients identified, the students who were to receive a grant were notified by email of the decision. Those who had an application denied were also notified by email concerning the decision.
