91福利 (\u201c91福利\u201d) received the above award from the CARES Act passed by Congress on March 27, 2020 to provide emergency financial aid grants to eligible students for their expenses related to the disruption of our campus operations due to coronavirus.<\/p>\n
On April 22, 2020, 91福利 submitted the required Certification and Agreement<\/a> (please link signed C&A) to the U.S. Department of Education (U.S. DOE) committing to use these funds to provide emergency aid directly to our eligible students.<\/p>\n Consistent with the guidance from the U.S. DOE, eligible students include all students who were enrolled at 91福利 on March 13, 2020 and are eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), with the following exceptions:<\/p>\n Students who did not have a FAFSA on file with the university were able to complete a self-certification form, attesting under the penalty of perjury to meeting the requirements of Section 484 of the HEA.<\/p>\n Consistent with the other institutions within the University of Maine System, of which 91福利 is a part, and in acknowledgement that every one of our students experienced disruption when COVID-19 forced all courses to be transitioned to online delivery, 91福利 will automatically distribute approximately 85 percent of these funds to all eligible students. Award amounts will be tiered as follows based on the number of credit hours in which the student is enrolled as of March 13, 2020:<\/p>\n Undergraduate<\/u><\/p>\n .1 \u2013 5.99 Credit Hours: $100 Graduate<\/u><\/p>\n .1 \u2013 2.99 Credit Hours: $100 The remaining 15 percent (approximately) of the CARES student aid is being made available by application to eligible students who self-identify with additional need as a result of the disruption to campus operations caused by COVID-19. As we communicated to our students on May 6, 2020, eligible students were able to apply for those funds until May 22, 2020. Currently applications for these supplemental funds are being reviewed. 91福利 anticipates disbursements of these funds to be sent to students the week of June 1, 2020.<\/p>\n In some cases, emergency funds may have been supplemented with a portion of CARES dollars intended for institutional relief.<\/p>\n All distributions to student will be made via direct deposit or check. Because the IRS considers the CARES student funds as a \u201cqualified disaster relief payment,\u201d they are not considered taxable income.<\/p>\n <\/th>\n Below are all communications from the University of Maine System or 91福利 to students concerning the emergency financial aid grants provided through the CARES Act.
