Crowder College has completed, signed, and submitted the Department of Education Certification and Agreement and assures that Crowder College will use no less that 50 percent of the funds in accordance with Section 18004 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which provides Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students.

Crowder College received a total of $1,319,348 in CARES Act funds for Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus (including eligible expenses under a student’s cost of attendance such as food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and child care.)

Crowder College began distributing the $1,319,348 of the CARES Act funds to students beginning May 18, 2020 with additional distributions July through September 25, 2020. An application process to distribute unclaimed funds was opened on September 21, 2020. As of September 25, 2020, 1,648 students claimed $1,284,390.

Crowder College opened the application to all degree-seeking students enrolled on September 21, 2020.  Following guidance from the Department of Education and Section 484 of the Title IV Higher Education Act of 1965, students were excluded if they:

  • are enrolled in exclusively online courses,
  • are enrolled as a dual credit or dual enrolled student,
  • are not making financial aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
  • are international students or those falling into another equivalent category (e.g. Deferred Action Against Childhood Arrivals), or
  • had not submitted a current 2020-2021 Free Application for Federal Student Aid to the college.

Under the final distribution, Crowder College awarded qualified students $500.00 on a first come, first served basis until all funds were dispersed.

As our final report, as of December 21, 2020, $1,382,029 was disbursed to a total of 1,843 students.  (The $1,319,348 in CARES Act Grants for Students was disbursed in addition to $62,681 from the institutional portion of the CARES Act funds).
