October 10, 2021
As the result of the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Stability (CARES) Act, Antioch University will receive federal funding to distribute as emergency grants to students impacted by COVID-19.
These emergency grants will help students manage expenses resulting from the disruption of campus operations caused by the pandemic. Eligible expenses include the cost of food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and child care.
Emergency grants will be limited in number and amount due to funding constraints.
FACTS
On March 27, 2020, the federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act includes a Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (“HEERF”). A portion of HEERF funds must go directly to eligible students in the form of emergency financial aid grants for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the COVID-19 crisis.
On April 25, 2020, Antioch University (AU) received the Grant Award Notification from the U.S. Department of Education as a result of our signing of the Certification and Agreement and the assurance that the University intends to use no less than 50 percent of the funds received under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act to provide emergency financial aid grants to students.
Pursuant to the Certification and Agreement, the University is eligible to receive up to $553,606 in HEERF Grant Funds. AU started drawing these funds on May 26, 2020.
