Cares Act Emergency Grants and Covid Resources

Free Money for all students enrolled in 3 or more units!  

FEDERAL HEERF III/CARES ACT EMERGENCY GRANTS

Available for Fall 2021 (retroactively) and for Spring 2022 at Las Positas College

Federal Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds III/CARES Act funds are available for LPC students to help with school-related expenses incurred because of COVID-19.  We are now providing funds to all students who have filed a FAFSA or CADAA application for Las Positas for 2021-2022, the current school year.  We will continue to provide funds for the current school year as we receive 2021-2022 FAFSAs and CADAAs, until all of our grant funds are expended.

TO QUALIFY FOR CARES FUNDS:

  • The 2021-2022Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Application (CADAA) is your application for CARES (the 2022-2023 application is the wrong form for this year). Please ensure you have applied for 2021-2022 for the current school year; you should also apply for 2022-2023 in addition, to qualify for aid for next year.  Final deadline to submit a 2021-2022 FAFSA or CADAA is June 30, 2022.
  • LPC must be your official college of record and you must be enrolled in LPC classes
  • Your 2021-2022 FAFSA or CADAA must be submitted forLas Positas College. If it is for Chabot College we cannot process your CARES grant nor any financial aid funds unless you update your FAFSA to remove Chabot and add LPC.  
  • Your 2021-2022 FAFSA or CADAA must indicate an ‘Expected Family Contribution’ or it is invalid.
  • All FAFSA/CADAA applicants enrolled in 3 or more units at the time of disbursement will receive CARES grant funds.
  • Concurrently enrolled high school students are not
  • International Students are eligible; please contact the International Student Program Coordinator for details.

The amount of your award is based on your current units of enrollment and your Expected Family Contribution (‘EFC’) which is determined by your FAFSA or CADAA results.

Payment for FAFSA filers  is provided through BankMobile; all recipients must select a refund delivery method to receive their funds.  Contact our financial aid office for assistance with setting up your bankmobile refund (email: lpcfinaid@laspositascollege.edu). 

Students who file a CADAA, and International students, will be mailed a check directly from the district business office.  Please ensure your current college mailing address is accurate through admissions to ensure delivery.

POLICY REGARDING CHANGES IN ENROLLMENT AFTER HEERF III/CARES FUNDS ARE DISBURSED

The amount of HEERF/CARES Emergency funds awarded to each student is based on the student’s units of enrollment on the date the funds are authorized (disbursed).   Students who increase enrollment following the date of disbursement will not have their emergency grant funds increased, and students who decrease enrollment following the date of disbursement will not have their emergency fund eligibility reduced.  No adjustments based on changes in units of enrollment will be made after the initial disbursement. 

Adjustments to HEERF/CARES awards will be provided ONLY to students whose EFC was originally greater than 13000 at the time of the disbursement but whose EFC has been adjusted to below 13000 due to having submitted an EFC Adjustment/Special Circumstance appeal which was approved after the initial disbursement. 

 

ATTENTION!  Did your (or your family’s) income drop significantly in 2020 or 2021 due to covid or other reasons? If so consider filing a Special Circumstance/EFC Appeal AFTER we receive your initial FAFSA results, or speak to a financial aid advisor.   This allows us to reduce your FAFSA income so that you may qualify for financial aid, or for additional aid, based on your more recent financial situation instead of relying on 2019 information that is in your fafsa.

For assistance with your application or questions please contact the Financial Aid Office at lpcfinaid@laspositascollege.edu, visit our office on the second floor of Building 1600, or contact us through Cranium Café during posted hours (http://www.laspositascollege.edu/financialaid/cranium-cafe.php)
