The 91爆料 (\u201c91爆料\u201d) and the 91爆料 at Machias (“UMM”) received the above award from the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) passed by Congress on January 14, 2021 to provide emergency financial aid grants to eligible.<\/p>\n
On April 22, 2020, 91爆料 submitted the required Certification and Agreement<\/a> (please link signed C&A) to the U.S. Department of Education (U.S. DOE) committing to use these funds to provide emergency aid directly to our eligible students.<\/p>\n Consistent with the guidance from the U.S. DOE, eligible students include all students who were enrolled at 91爆料 on March 24, 2021 with the following exceptions:<\/p>\n 91爆料 and UMM will automatically distribute approximately 96 percent of these funds to all eligible students. Award amounts will be tiered as follows based on: the number of credit hours in which the student is enrolled as of March 24, 2021, academic career, and in accordance with DOE guidelines, financial need.<\/p>\n Undergraduate Base Amounts<\/u><\/p>\n .1 \u2013 5.99 Credit Hours: $125 Graduate Base Amounts<\/u><\/p>\n .1 \u2013 2.99 Credit Hours: $200 Additional Amounts<\/span><\/p>\n High Need (EFC <= 5711): +$200 The remaining 4 percent (approximately) of the CRRSAA student aid is being made available by application to eligible students who self-identify with additional need as a result of being impacted by COVID-19. The application was made available to the following population to notify them that applications were open for remaining emergency funds:<\/p>\n The application was made available to students on April 20, 2021. Students had a deadline of April 28, 2021 at 4:30pm to submit an application.<\/p>\n Applications for the additional CARES Act amounts were reviewed by a campus committee and awarding parameters were created for approval and distribution of these funds.<\/p>\n Communications were sent to students who were approved or denied funding on May 3, 2021 and those eligible began receiving payments for their approved amounts on May 4, 2021.<\/p>\n In some cases, emergency funds may have been supplemented with a portion of CCRRSAA dollars intended for institutional relief.<\/p>\n In accordance with the federal guidelines for the CRRSAA allocations, every eligible student was able to choose the method of disbursement: either electronically consenting to have the funds applied directly to their student bill or to receive a direct payment of these funds.<\/p>\n All distributions to student will be made via direct deposit or check. Because the IRS considers the CRRSAA student funds as a \u201cqualified disaster relief payment,\u201d they are not considered taxable income.<\/p>\n 91爆料 carried forward the remaining unspent portion of the initial CARES Act funding ($210,650, of which $210,650 was spent) to the total allocation of HEERF II funding for the second round of direct payments to students.
