Student Portion

Saint Joseph Seminary College acknowledges that we signed and returned to the Department the Certification and Agreement and the assurance that the institution has used the applicable amount of funds designated under the CRRSAA and ARP (a)(1) and (a)(4) programs to provide Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students.

The total amount of funds received from the Department of Education for Emergency Financial Aid Grants for students are as follows:

HEERF 1 funding – $49,189

HEERF 2 funding – $49,189

HEERF 3 funding – $128,371.98

The total amount of Emergency Financial Aid Grants distributed to students is $106,987.98

The estimated total number of students at the institution that are eligible to receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants 113.

The total number of students who have received an Emergency Financial Aid Grant is 113.

The method(s) used by the institution to determine which students receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants and how much they would receive:

HEERF 1 funds were equally split between all students enrolled at the time of the declared national pandemic.
HEERF 2 funds were distributed to students who were eligible for financial aid and showed financial need.
HEERF 3 funds were distributed to students who were eligible for financial aid and showed financial need.

Students who received funding received guidance that this money was coming from the CARES ACT and was nontaxable as an allotment for emergency relief funding for chosen students. We sent out a memo with the checks for the HEERF 1 payments and sent an email with this information for the HEERF 2 and 3 recipients.
