CRRSAA (HEERF II)
The CRRSA Act establishes federal grant dollars "that must go directly to students
in the form of emergency financial aid grants.” Emergency grants to students can be
used for any component of the cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise
due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
In order to be eligible, students must meet general eligibility requirements. These
include but are not limited to being a U.S. citizen or non-citizen who qualifies for
federal student aid.

on Friday (or a check mailed on Friday). The fastest way to receive an approved grant
is to have direct deposit set up with Student Financial Services. To review or sign-up
for direct deposit, log onto MyFSU, click on Student, MyAccount, and then the Direct
Deposit quick link to sign up for or review your direct deposit. If you are a student
employee signed up for direct deposit of your student wages, you still need to sign
up with Student Financial Services for direct deposit of your student account refunds.
