❤️🩹 Apply for HEERF ❤️🩹
| |
The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund III, or HEERF III, is available THIS semester to students with financial need, but it’s going fast! It’s easy to apply, and you could receive up to $3,000. A 2021-22 FAFSA must be on file. If you/your family has experienced a financial hardship recently and your FAFSA does not reflect it, reach out to the Office of Financial Aid immediately to see if you qualify. International/undocumented students may be eligible without a FAFSA.
