UE Provides Students with Cares Act Grants
Evansville, IN (05/08/2020) — On March 27, Congress approved the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security CARES Act. The CARES Act is federal legislation which provides funding to support those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. A portion of this federal legislation was established and funded to provide emergency grants directly to students.
In an email sent to students today, the President Christopher M Pietruszkiewicz stated, "We know that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought many challenges and disruptions to your life over the past few months, and some of you may be facing financial difficulties as a result. We are happy to let you know that we have received funding from the CARES Act that can be used to provide emergency grants directly to students."
There are certain limitations and requirements from the Department of Education. The University is awarding grants to students who were registered in the Spring 2020 semester and were eligible for Federal Title IV Financial Aid at that time. We will distribute the grants to all eligible students in a tiered approach based upon the results of the 2019-2020 FAFSA submission.
