STUDENT EMERGENCY FINANCIAL AID GRANTS AND THE CARES ACT
Valor Christian College applied for and received the funds allocated for Student Emergency Financial Aid Grants under the CARES Act at the end of June. We are working diligently to get these funds in the hands of our students as quickly as possible while ensuring that we follow the regulations concerning those funds as they are developed and communicated by the Department of Education.
Please note:
- Only on-ground students who were enrolled in the Spring 2020 semester at a half-time or greater enrollment status at the time of the COVID-19 disruption, and who had a valid FAFSA on file with Valor Christian College are eligible for these funds due to the disruption of their housing, their on-ground courses, and their meal plans. Congress specifically excluded students whose education was being delivered exclusively online during the spring 2020 semester from eligibility for these funds.
- No students are eligible for these funds due to summer enrollment as all of Valor Christian College’s summer courses have been and are offered exclusively online.
- International and undocumented students are not eligible for the Emergency Financial Aid Grant Funds. To receive the funds, the student must have a valid FAFSA on file with Valor Christian College.
Valor Christian College signed and returned to the Department of Education, the Certification and Agreement and intends to use, no less than 50% of the funds received under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act to provide Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students.
