The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA) was signed into law on Dec. 27, 2020. It includes a section “to provide financial aid grants to students which may be used for any component of the student’s cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, health care (including mental health care) or child care.”

You, or someone in your household1 must have experienced a financial loss or increase in expenditures related to COVID-19.

1Household definition: If you were born before January 1, 1997, you are an independent student for application purposes, and household is defined as student and spouse (if applicable). If you were born on or after January 1, 1997, you are a dependent student for application purposes, and household is defined as student and parent(s).

 

CRRSA funds are still being processed.  There is still time to apply for funds if you were affected by COVID.
