CARES Act Application Information
Due to Covid-19, the United States Government issued the CARES Act. In this legislation, there is funding provided for students that have incurred additional expenses related to their education. Concordia University Portland was granted funds in order to help assist students with these additional expenses. In order to qualify for these funds you must:
- Have been still enrolled as of March 13th, 2020, when the state of emergency was declared
- Have completed a 2019/2020 FAFSA
- Be eligible for Federal Financial Aid
- Have additional educational expenses that incurred due to Covid-19 (ex: additional housing or food costs caused by having to move off campus)
If you meet these qualifications, you can complete the appeal form and return it to the financial aid office for review. If it is determined that you qualify, the financial aid office will notify you and add the amount of funds that you are eligible for to your financial aid award offer.
