SUNY Brockport received Student Aid funding under the CRRSAA section 314(a)(1) program. This program, with some changes, provides supplemental Student Aid funds to the CARES Act section 18004(a)(1) program. SUNY Brockport signed and returned to the Education Department a Certification and Agreement as required under the CARES Act section 18004(a)(1) program. We acknowledge that by drawing down the CRRSAA Student Aid funds, our institution agrees to be bound by the conditions set forth in the CRRSAA Supplemental Agreement including using 100 percent of these Student Aid funds to provide emergency aid grants to students.
SUNY Brockport **has received $3,875,074 from the Department of Education in Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF II). These funds are provided as an emergency grant for expenses related to any component of your cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to Coronavirus. Eligible expenses include tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health), or childcare. **
**SUNY Brockport had determined that there are 3,368 students eligible for HEERF II Emergency funds.
To be eligible a student must be eligible for federal Title IV financial aid as demonstrated by having a completed FAFSA with a valid EFC for 2020-21. Verification requirements must also have been met. Students must fall within Pell eligible Expected Family Contribution (EFC) ranges (EFC less than or equal to $5,711).
Award amounts were determined using a template provided by SUNY Administration. Three percent of HEERF II funds were set aside for extended EFC ranges. Grants were sent to 3,368 students in the form of a paper check or direct deposit.
The University began disbursing the HEERF II funds on Thursday, April 29, 2021 to eligible students. There is no application process to receive these funds. If you do not have direct deposit, we strongly encourage you to do so. Paper checks will take longer to process and mail.
Please note: It is the student’s responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office immediately if you did not incur expenses that meet or exceed the amount of their emergency grant issued.
