CSU Global Distributes $1 Million in Grants to Students Affected by COVID-19

This spring, CSU Global released $1 million in CARES Act funding directly to eligible students—$3,500 to student applicants who were financially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualifying impacts could include job loss, reduced work hours, incurred additional childcare costs, reduction of employer tuition reimbursement programs, and more. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed by Congress in 2020 with a goal of providing economic aid to Americans who have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of this initiative, CSU Global was approved to receive the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund Grant (HEERF) Grant from the Department of Education.
