Susquehanna University distributed all CARES Act: Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds – Student Aid on May 12, 2020. All disbursements were made following the guidelines, FAQs, and regulatory requirements outlines in the CARES Act and U.S. Department of Education communications as of May 12, 2020.
Student eligibility for the CRRSAA emergency student grants was determined by Susquehanna University based on guidance from the U.S. Department of Education. The CRSSAA requires institutions to prioritize grants to students with exceptional financial need, such as those who receive Pell Grants. To comply with the Department’s guidance and ensure an equitable awarding structure consistent with the institution’s CARES Act methodology last year, Susquehanna is requiring full-time undergraduate student recipients to have an eligible Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file as of February 11, 2021. This criteria includes but is not limited to the following: U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen; a valid Social Security number; registration with Selective Service (if the student is male); and a high school diploma, GED or completion of high school in an approved homeschool setting.
