We know many students have incurred extraordinary or unplanned expenses in the wake of the changes brought on by the global pandemic. I write today to let you know emergency grant funding is available to assist with some of these expenses incurred during Fall Term 2020.
Thanks to donor-supported institutional funds, as well as remaining funds the university received from the CARES Act via a grant from the Department of Education, emergency grant funding is available for all Lawrentians—regardless of citizenship status.
Emergency grant funding for Fall Term 2020 is limited to expenses for technology and housing. Technology expenses include the purchase or repair of a computer/laptop, internet service, and/or required software to complete coursework. (Please note: grant funding may only cover a portion of the total expense. Additionally, expenses for housing and internet service are limited to students living off campus during Fall Term 2020.)
The deadline to apply for Fall Term 2020 emergency grant funding is 4:59pm CT on Friday, September 18, 2020. For more information and to apply, click here.
Stay well,
