Determination of Awards
香港六合彩开奖记录 has prioritized awarding of Emergency Financial Aid Grants to its students in the following manner (methodology):
The categories listed below identify Pell recipients with lowest EFC (Expected Family Contribution) and non-Pell recipients, but Title IV eligible with lowest EFC and awards will be based proportionally on full time, part time, and less than half time status within each priority.
- Priority 1: FAFSA on file, Pell recipient, and EFC = 0
- Priority 2: FAFSA on file, Pell recipient, and EFC = 1-500
- Priority 3: FAFSA on file, Title IV eligible, and EFC = 0-500
- Priority 4: FAFSA on file, Pell and non-Pell recipient, and EFC is between 501 and 5576
Emergency grants disbursed will be equal to student's self-identified expenses and/or up to the maximum award amount identified at a student's appropriate priority and enrollment level, whichever is less.
Any application received whereby the student has identified a need, but they do not fall into Priority 1 through 4 category or their EFC is above the Pell grant eligibility will be reviewed and awarded an emergency grant based on remaining availability of funds after priority applications are funded. Under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act, students will receive awards ranging from $500 to $3,000.
