COVID-19 Emergency Funding FAQ
Similar to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Securities Act (CARES Act), the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) is federal legislation providing financial support to individuals and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. One part of this federal program, the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II (HEERF II), allocates money to CBC, and a portion of that allocation is to be awarded to students who are experiencing financial hardships due to the coronavirus.
If you’re an eligible CBC student, you can apply for HEERF II funds via the 2021 COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund Application.
