<a href="https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/heerfstudentfaqs.pdf">FAQs: Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students</a> from the Department of Education’s COVID-19 briefing on the CARES Act for Higher Education Stakeholders held on Tuesday, April 21.
This is <u>NEW </u>guidance from the Department and should be used to inform the application, distribution, and documentation processes of these funds at your college.

</span></span></span>Only students who are or could be eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), may receive emergency financial aid grants. **Per the Ability to Benefit (ATB) provision
of the HEA, students without a high school credential who are enrolled in Title IV eligible programs may also qualify for federal financial aid.<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>At this time, we are pursuing clarification and further guidance for this provision. Additional information forthcoming.</p>

<u>choose</u> to pay any outstanding account balances via cash, check, or credit card.</p>

and to students who are eligible to receive the funds for authorized expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus. Colleges must document that reimbursements for institutionally-funded emergency grants to students are made in
