Creating the Right Method to distribute the Emergency Grant Funds to our Students
Tuesday, April 28, 2020 | 2:00PM ET
Is there a “right way” or “best formula” for allocating the federal grant funds to our students? How does one create something that is fair to all students while still prioritizing those students most in need? How do we distribute such funds over time in ways that meets the students’ needs while protecting the program’s intent?
Many schools have asked for additional guidance on the best way to allocate these funds and the ability to talk directly with other school leaders. As you prepare for receipt – and then distribution – of your school’s allocation, we have brought together a panel of school leaders who have carefully created a distribution process appropriate to their school.
Please join:

Presenter: Nicholas Kent, Senior Vice President of Policy and Research, CECU
On April 9, 2020, the U.S. Department of Education posted the process by which institutions of higher education could access and distribute approximately $6.2 billion in emergency financial aid grants to students that were made available under the CARES Act. Earlier today, the Department issued new guidance that clarifies some of the most common questions related to an institution’s 50 percent direct-to-student allocation as well as announcing that institutions can now apply for the remaining $6.2 billion institutional share of funds. Join CECU for an overview of the most recent Department guidelines on how to access and use the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund, as well as best practices institutions should consider when managing these critical stabilization supports. Although time is allotted for live Q&A, attendees are encouraged to submit questions ahead of time through the webinar registration.
