Secretary Devos Announces $6 billion grant program for college students!

First wave of CARES Act funding will provide aid to students for expenses like course materials, technology, housing, food, health care, and childcare

WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced today more than $6 billion will be distributed immediately to colleges and universities to provide direct emergency cash grants to college students whose lives and educations have been disrupted by the coronavirus outbreak. The funding is available through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, signed into law by President Donald J. Trump less than two weeks ago.The CARES Act provides nearly $14 billion to support postsecondary education students and institutions. Colleges and universities are required to utilize the $6.28 billion made available today to provide cash grants to students for expenses related to disruptions to their educations due to the COVID-19 outbreak, including things like course materials and technology as well as food, housing, health care, and childcare. In order to access the funds, the Department must receive a signed certification from the higher education institution affirming they will distribute the funds in accordance with applicable law. The college or university will then determine which students will receive the cash grants.

Inspirational Message

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) 

            If I can stop one Heart breaking

            I shall not live in vain

            If I can ease one Life the Aching

            Or cool the one Pain

            Or help one fainting Robin

            Unto his Nest again

            I shall not live in vain.
