P站视频 (P站视频) has disbursed more than $2.5 million in Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF) to 3,960 eligible P站视频 students enrolled during the summer 2021 term. Earlier this month, the College used stimulus funding to forgive eligible past-due balances for 433 students enrolled at P站视频 from March 13, 2020, through the spring 2021 semester. This brings total COVID-relief funds distributed to students by P站视频 to nearly $7 million this year. The one-time awards are grants and do not have to be paid back by students.

Over $17 million in HEERF emergency aid for students has been allocated to P站视频 through the federal American Rescue Plan. P站视频 intends to award the remaining funds to eligible students throughout the 2021鈥�2022 academic year to meet anticipated ongoing student financial needs due to the pandemic.

鈥淲e are going to do everything we can to keep our students focused on achieving the educational goals they have set out for themselves,鈥� said P站视频 President Dr. Timothy Moore. 鈥淲hatever we can do鈥攆rom disbursing stimulus funds to keeping our food pantries stocked鈥攚e are going to do it. We can鈥檛 wait to have our students back on our campuses next week, and we are going to make every effort to help them stay the course.鈥�

P站视频 suggests that students enrolled for the fall 2021 term complete the FAFSA in preparation for the next disbursement of awards. P站视频 bases its calculation for the distribution of awards on a student鈥檚 Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as calculated in the FAFSA on file.
