Announcements
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.
