COVID Relief Funding
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act
On March 27, 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which provided emergency aid funds to institutions of higher education. Agnes Scott College was allotted $574,115 in emergency aid to be distributed directly to students who meet the Department of Education eligibility guidelines (students eligible for federal financial aid). These emergency funds are designed to assist students in covering living expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to COVID-19. The college will be allocating the funds to students using a tiered model, based upon demonstrated financial need from the student’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file. Please note, the funds may be considered taxable income.
As a community that values equity and inclusion, we recognize that although this government funding will assist many of our students who are experiencing financial hardship, it also excludes some of our most financially vulnerable students who may not have filed the FAFSA. Consequently, Agnes Scott College is pursuing alternative funding sources for students who may not meet the eligibility requirement for these federal funds. We encourage these students with a financial need to seek assistance and support through our Student Emergency Fund by sending an email to scottiecare@agnesscott.edu.
