CARES Emergency Student Grant
Members of the SU Community:
In March, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which included funding to assist students through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund. SU has been granted a pool of CARES Act Emergency Grant funds to provide emergency financial aid grants to students for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus.
Additional CARES Act funding has been allocated for SU emergency aid applications. Students meeting enrollment, U.S. citizenship and satisfactory academic progress requirements who are Title IV eligible and have incurred an economic hardship or expenses due to the disruption of campus activities directly related to COVID-19 may apply for reimbursement through this fund.
For more information about the CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief fund, visit the U.S. Department of Education CARES Act Website. For more information on SU’s CARES Act funding, please email finaid@salisbury.edu.
