CARES Act Info
As a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, a Federal law that includes funds to assist students in need during the pandemic, Spring PTC credit students, excluding transient and dual enrollment students, will receive a disbursement in the next several days.
Q: Do I qualify to receive funds?
A: If you are currently enrolled in the Spring term as a credit student, and you are not a dual enrollment or transient student, you will receive these funds. The legislation differentiates between Pell students and non-Pell, so the amount you receive will differ depending on whether you received a Pell Grant in the Spring.
