CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY POLICY ON CARES ACT
Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act
Section 18004(c) of the Cares Act requires Claflin University to use at least fifty percent of the funds received to provide emergency financial aid grants to students for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to COVID 19(including eligible expenses under a student’s cost of attendance such as food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and child care).
Upon receipt of the Grant Award Notification (GANS) from the Department of Education, Claflin University will promptly make available emergency financial aid grants as funded by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act directly to students enrolled in the spring 2020 semester for their expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to COVID 19, (including eligible expenses under a student’s cost of attendance such as food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and child care) as required by Section 18004(c) of the CARES Act. Claflin University will not use the funds to reimburse itself for any costs or expenses, including but not limited to any costs associated with significant changes to the delivery of instruction due to the coronavirus and/or any refunds or other benefit previously issued to students.

Consistent with Section 18004(c), Claflin University retains discretion to:
- Determine the amount of each individual Emergency Financial Aid Grant consistent with all applicable laws including non-discrimination laws.
- Prescribe the methodology for distribution of funds across the student population.
The CARES Act student emergency funding will be managed by the Director of Financial Aid. As encouraged by the Secretary of Education in the Recipient’s Funding Certification and Agreement for CARES Act Funding, the Director of Financial Aid will exercise the use of professional judgment available under Section 479A of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), 20 U.S.C § 1087tt, to determine need and eligibility for receipt of CARES Act student emergency grants.
The University will award student emergency grants on the basis of need (established by Pell and Title IV eligibility). The University will allocate emergency grant awards to students across multiple phases and tiers.
| Phase 1 (Spring 2020) |
|
Phase 2 (Fall 2020) |
|
Phase 3 (Spring 2021) |
|
|
|
| Pell eligible - $500 (estimate) |
|
Pell eligible - $500 |
|
All Title IV eligible Students - $250 |
|

|

|
|

Funding amounts are based on eligibility reported on the FAFSA. The higher amounts will go to our Pell eligible students.
The Secretary does not consider these individual Emergency Financial Aid Grants to constitute Federal Financial Aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA). The emergency financial aid funds will not be used for any purpose other than the direct payments of grants to students for their expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus. Claflin University will promptly comply with Section 18004(e) of the CARES Act and (i) report to the Secretary thirty (30) days from the date the Certification and Agreement was signed and every forty five (45) days thereafter in accordance with 2 CFR 200.333 through 2 CFR 200.337, or in such other additional form as the Secretary may specify.
Claflin University will report:
- how grants were distributed to students,
- the amount of each grant awarded to each student,
- how the amount of each grant was calculated, and
- any instructions or directions given to students about the grants
Claflin University will promptly and to the greatest extent practicable distribute all the funds in the form of emergency financial aid grants to students within 12 months from the date of the signed Certificate and Agreement. The Business and Finance Office will process the payments of the Emergency Financial Aid Grants to each eligible student in the same manner in which credit balances are processed for Title IV aid. At no time will any emergency grant be used by the University to offset existing student account balances, nor future student account charges. Funds will be disbursed directly to individual students, as directed by that student, in the form of a check or electronic transfer payment.
