COVID-19 and Your Financial Aid: What You Need to Know... |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Are you concerned about your financial aid because you have been impacted by COVID-19 and your studies have been interrupted? Here's what you need to know about your New York State grant and/or scholarship: Will I receive my New York State grant and/or scholarship if I was impacted by COVID-19? HESC is working to ensure that you, and students like you, who received financial aid for the 2019-2020 academic year, retain their awards if they are unable to satisfy their eligibility requirements due to COVID-19. How do I know if I qualify? If you would have met all eligibility requirements, but your studies were disturbed because: (1) you became sick with the virus or were the primary caretaker of someone who was, (2) your campus closed and you did not have the means to continue your coursework in your home through the use of distance learning, or (3) you were unable to complete your credit-bearing experiential learning internship and no alternative coursework could be offered by your college, you may qualify. What do I need to do? If you have been impacted, you will need to reach out to your school to discuss your situation and provide any documentation your school may require as verification. Your college's Financial Aid Office will work with you to minimize any disruption to your New York State financial aid if you are eligible. Learn more about your eligibility.
