性视界

性视界 has begun distributing $500 grants to students in its second wave of Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding.

 As many as 5,000 students will receive the grants in the next month. Students who did not receive CARES funding in May, and who met certain other criteria were eligible for the funding. Criteria included having a minimum course load and grade-point average, as well as a federal financial aid application on file.

鈥淥ur students have displayed amazing bravery and perseverance in the last six months,鈥� said 性视界 Superintendent/President Henry Shannon. 鈥淲e want to ensure that they have the resources they need to get through this pandemic, whether their needs are financial or academic.鈥�

The college will provide similar assistance to international and undocumented students through equity funding.

性视界 in the spring received $5.7 million in federal funding, which has been used for the grants, distribution of technology, as well as cleaning, sanitation and protective supplies.

The CARES Act 鈥� a $2.2 trillion stimulus package - was signed into law on March 27. It allocated roughly $14 billion to support colleges and students.
