The CARES Act establishes federal grant dollars "that must go directly to students
in the form of emergency financial aid grants for expenses related to the disruption
of campus operations due to coronavirus. Emergency grants to students can be used
for eligible expenses under a student's cost of attendance such as food, housing,
course materials, technology, health care, and childcare."
In order to be eligible, students must meet all Title IV student aid general eligibility
requirements. These include but are not limited to: US citizenship or eligible non-citizen,
Selective Service registration, if applicable, valid Social Security Number, and meeting
Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. Students must have a valid
2019-2020 FAFSA on file to determine general eligibility. If you have not already
done so, you may complete a FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov.
Students must have been enrolled at FSU and have incurred expenses related to the
disruption of campus operations due to COVID19. Students attending only online spring
2020 courses are not eligible.
