澳门六合彩开奖历史 River State College (IRSC) has disbursed more than $2.5 million in Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF) to 3,960 eligible 澳门六合彩开奖历史students enrolled during the summer 2021 term. Earlier this month, the College used stimulus funding to forgive eligible past-due balances for 433 students enrolled at 澳门六合彩开奖历史from March 13, 2020, through the spring 2021 semester. This brings total COVID-relief funds distributed to students by 澳门六合彩开奖历史to nearly $7 million this year. The one-time awards are grants and do not have to be paid back by students.
Over $17 million in HEERF emergency aid for students has been allocated to 澳门六合彩开奖历史through the federal American Rescue Plan. 澳门六合彩开奖历史intends to award the remaining funds to eligible students throughout the 2021鈥�2022 academic year to meet anticipated ongoing student financial needs due to the pandemic.
鈥淲e are going to do everything we can to keep our students focused on achieving the educational goals they have set out for themselves,鈥� said 澳门六合彩开奖历史President Dr. Timothy Moore. 鈥淲hatever we can do鈥攆rom disbursing stimulus funds to keeping our food pantries stocked鈥攚e are going to do it. We can鈥檛 wait to have our students back on our campuses next week, and we are going to make every effort to help them stay the course.鈥�
澳门六合彩开奖历史suggests that students enrolled for the fall 2021 term complete the FAFSA in preparation for the next disbursement of awards. 澳门六合彩开奖历史bases its calculation for the distribution of awards on a student鈥檚 Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as calculated in the FAFSA on file.
