6. The method(s) used by the institution to determine which students receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants and how much they would receive under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act.
Grand View awarded the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act emergency grants in two phases that addressed the immediate and sustained needs of our students. The first phase included a student-initiated application process related to more immediate needs surrounding the pandemic, while the second phase expanded the application to ensure students had the technology resources necessary to be successful in the Hy-Flex educational model used by Grand View due to COVID-19. Both phases provide financial assistance to students with increased expenses caused by the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus pandemic. Student eligibility is determined according to the parameters set by the CARES Act, including Title IV eligibility and spring 2020 enrollment for students who were not exclusively in on-line courses at the time of the disruption.
Grand View began awarding the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSSA) emergency grants in March 2021. This phase includes a student-initiated application process and allows for assistance for any component of the student’s cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care) or child care. Student eligibility is determined according to the parameters set by the CRRSAA Act which prioritizes students with exceptional need.
Grand View began awarding the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) emergency grants on June 30, 2021. This phase began with a student-initiated application process, similar to the management of the CRRSSA funding, and expanded in late September to include block grants that were be automatically awarded to students who show exceptional need for the fall 2021 semester. The students made elections to either receive their grant as a direct payment or to have it applied to their student account, with any excess issued to them as a refund. The ARP grant allows for assistance for any component of the student’s cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care) or child care. Student eligibility is determined according to the parameters set by the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) which prioritizes students with exceptional need, while also prioritizing undergraduate students over graduate students.
7. Any instructions, directions, or guidance provided by the institution to students concerning the Emergency Financial Aid Grants.
Grand View notified students and parents of the emergency grants available via email. The email linked to an application on the University’s website on the COVID-19 web page. Following review, the students were notified of their grant amount via email that also included additional relief resources.
