CARES ACT

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was passed by Congress to help provide economic relief from the national emergency created by COVID-19. One portion of the CARES Act established the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) which provides the opportunity for emergency financial aid grants to help cover a student's expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus. 

CARES/HEERF Act grants will be administered by Arkansas Tech, and awarded to:

  • Current undergraduate and graduate students,
  • Who have a FAFSA on file,
  • Are eligible to receive Title IV (federal loans, grants, and work-study) funds, and
  • Are not enrolled in an exclusively online program.

The funding each school receives is limited, so the grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until funding is depleted.
