Delta College is providing emergency aid funding to support students impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The money is available to currently enrolled students experiencing expenses directly related to the change in campus operations due to the coronavirus.
This assistance was created to help students stay in college and meet their educational goals, ultimately, securing a better financial future.
Aid will be awarded in the order of application. The amount will be based on type of emergency financial need, enrollment level, and subject to availability of funds.
ELIGIBILITY
For consideration, Delta College students should have a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on record and be in good academic standing. If you haven't yet done so, you can still complete the FAFSA by visiting: FAFSA.
Please be aware that it will take 5 business days for Delta to receive your FAFSA results, so please do NOT apply for CARES Act funds until 5 business days after you submit your FAFSA.
Keep in mind that these emergency fund dollars are not considered financial aid. You do not need to be receiving any financial aid to apply.
INELIGIBLE
Students who were enrolled in a program that was offered exclusively online prior to the coronavirus, are not eligible for funding. Dual enrolled high school students and early college students are not eligible to apply and receive funding.
PROCESS FOR DECISIONS
Funding will be based on financial issues students have had or will face related to moving to online coursework, such as (but not limited to) internet service issues, the need for a new computer or special software or hardware, or increased utility costs.
Emergency aid is intended to help students with expenses that may affect their ability to attend Delta College and the awards are in addition to any other financial aid support the student may have received. Award funding is provided through the federal Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Students can apply by clicking on the button below.
