Cares Act Emergency Grants/Covid Resources

 

SPRING Term HEERF Cares Act II Emergency Grants will be offered beginning late JUNE and into the summer.  All students who demonstrate unmet financial need who remained enrolled into at least 6 units in spring 2021 and who filed a 2020-2021 FAFSA or California Dream Application resulting in an Expected Family Contribution will automatically be provided with a CARES Emergency Grant for spring term, with only a few exceptions.   Funds will be distributed beginning late June through the summer 2021.

Your FAFSA or CADAA is your application. 
Financial Need is not required to qualify for a CARES Emergency grant, but filing an application is.   Details will be posted here and on the LPC Home page once final.  Students, such as international students, who cannot file a FAFSA or CADAA due to their homeland security status will be able to apply for funds separately later this summer.  Students who do not demonstrate unmet financial need will have an opportunity to apply for funds through a simple application process. 

It’s not too late to file a 2020-2021 FAFSA  or CADAA.  Receipt of your financial aid application is considered your initial application for the HEERF CARES Grant. 

Deadline to file a 2020-2021 FAFSA or CADAA is 6/30/21.

HEERF III CARES Act Emergency Grants will also be available next school year beginning in fall.  You must file a 2021-2022 FAFSA or CADAA to qualify for funding.
