“Potentially, we’re looking at more than 33,000 students who would fall into one of these three categories,” Harrison said. The third group would be composed of all eligible students under Title IV, who did not receive financial aid in the past, but whose economic circumstances have changed as a result of the pandemic. These students will receive a “slightly less amount” of relief money than students in the first category, Harrison said. Second are students who have a higher EFC than zero, but have received federal financial aid in the past. In the first category are students with the highest financial need, which are students who have an Estimated Family Contribution of zero. She said they have divided the qualifications by three categories based on level of financial need. Harrison described how a student might qualify to receive the aid. Not a very novel concept, but a very important one, because we have many students.” We’re going to be distributing our portion, which is slightly over $22 million, based on students’ financial needs. With all that said, our goal is to provide emergency funds to as many eligible students as possible. “We don’t want to unfairly penalize students or unfairly put the university in a position where we have to repay something. “We want to make sure we get this right,” Harrison said. Harrison told the senate that the latest requirements exclude undocumented and international students from getting federal relief money.
Department of Education first announced the funding. Harrison said the requirements have been evolving since the U.S. The first part of the president’s report discussed the federal emergency aid and the university. Harrison gave an update on commencement, federal emergency funding and the upcoming fall semester at Thursday’s virtual Faculty Senate meeting.
