The omnibus, under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act, incorporates several provisions directly impacting higher education, including an Education Stabilization Fund, to be directed toward institutions of higher education using the same model previously established in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Securities (CARES) Act.
On December 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. Funds approved in this regulation are being sent to higher education institutions across the country for use as emergency grants to students for expenses related to the on-going, unanticipated changes to their lives and education. ÎçÒ¹¿ì²¥ is fortunate to have received a limited amount of funds for our students.
The funds under HEERF II, totaling $3,097,788 require a minimum expenditure of $967,207 to be awarded to students to match the amount of funds for students received under the CARES Grant. The awards to students, totaling $967,207 have been allocated in full. Therefore, we are unable to accept additional applications. All students who applied for funding were notified via their Curry email of the outcome of their application. All checks were mailed to recipients on April 2, 2021.
Please contact the Curry CARES committee at CARESgrant@curry.edu if you have any questions.

This page provides public information about ÎçÒ¹¿ì²¥’s participation in the CARES Act and use of the institution’s HEERF Institutional Portion (P425F202739).

ÎçÒ¹¿ì²¥ signed and returned the Certification and Agreement for the Institutional Portion of the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund under the CARES Act to the Department of Education on May 4, 2020. These funds were awarded to the College on May 11, 2020. The College was allocated a total of $967,207 under Section 18004(a)(1). Pursuant to the Certification and Agreement for the Institutional Portion states that the total institutional portion may be used to cover institutional costs associated with COVID-19.
As of June 16, 2020 the College has drawn down funding from the HEERF Institutional Portion, exercising a total of $967,207 in providing room and board refunds to students as a result of the campus moving to remote learning in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
What is the Higher Education Emergency Relief fund and how does it apply to students?
The CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund-IHE/Student Aid provides funding to institutions to provide emergency financial aid grants to students whose lives have been disrupted, many of whom are facing financial challenges and struggling to make ends meet due to a disruption in campus-based services and learning.
Can a parent apply for an emergency grant on the student’s behalf?
Only the student can submit a Funding Request Form.
If a student receives funding, does the funding need to be repaid?
No, funds awarded under this emergency program do not require repayment.
What expenses are eligible for emergency assistance?
The funds are to be used to cover expenses related to the disruption of campus operations and learning due to coronavirus and eligible expenses under a student’s cost of attendance, such as food, housing, course materials, technology, healthcare, and childcare.
What expenses are ineligible for emergency assistance?
Some expenses including tuition charges and unresolved balances on your student account are not eligible for funding from the CARES Act. Also, funds may not be requested for either a family’s or student’s loss of income.
Which students are eligible to apply for funding?
Only students who are or could be eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), may receive emergency grants.
How do I apply for emergency funds?
A Funding Request Form with instructions for completion was sent to eligible students at their Curry e-mail address. If you believe you are eligible and did not receive a Request Form, please the ÎçÒ¹¿ì²¥ CARES Act Committee at caresgrant@curry.edu.
How will I receive my funds if awarded a grant?
If you are awarded funds from this grant, a check will be mailed to you from the College to the address indicated on your Funding Request Form, via U.S. mail. We will process awards as rapidly as possible in the coming weeks, but please note that we do not have a specific timeline for processing or mailing.
Can a student submit multiple applications for different expenses?
All expenses should be listed on a single Funding Request Form.
Can a student request funds for anticipated expenses in the future?
Expenses must have been incurred due to the closing of the campus. For example, if you signed a lease for rental of an apartment, but have relocated home due to the crisis, you have incurred that expense for x number of months remaining in your lease. Therefore, you can request funding for the debt incurred.
Can the emergency grant funds be applied to a student’s current outstanding student balance?
No, the federal government will not allow application of the emergency funds to a student account.
If the student provides written permission to the College to retain the emergency grant funds can you apply them to my current balance or hold them for next semester’s tuition?
No, the federal government will not allow application of the emergency funds to a student account.
Who should a student contact with questions?
Questions should be sent to fin-aid@curry.edu.
