Cares Act- Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund HEERF Grant for Students
Disbursement Policy May 1st, 2020
The U.S. Department of Education has made Emergency Financial Aid Grants available to students of our institution who need financial support for their expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the Coronavirus. International Air and Hospitality Academy always strives to do what is best and fair for all our students. With this in mind, it is understood that the needs of all our students have been effected and that whatever a student’s EFC (Expected Family Contribution) or unmet need was at the time they were packaged
for school has most likely changed.
Therefore, awards will be made for Active students who are U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens only at a set amount per program (see below). It is understood these funds are not Title IV funds and SAP (student academic progress) does not apply. We as an institution are merely stewards of these funds for our students.
Students will need to complete the application/attestation and submit for review. Once application has been reviewed and approved a check will be issued to the student. The school will keep a spreadsheet to track student disbursements
and a running remaining balance of funds available. If there are funds remaining after initial disbursements, the remaining funds will be disbursed to future active students who are active in their programs for a minimum of 30-days. This will continue until all funds have been disbursed.
Program Distribution Amounts:
- 49.199 Airline Travel Specialist= $1,000
- 12.0503 Culinary Arts= $2,500
- 15.0899 Wind Turbine & Telecom Technician and 49.0208 Rail Operations Training= $1,500
*Disbursement policy and amounts have been reviewed and approved by Campus President- taking into account cost and length of each program offered and with the understanding the Institution is to distribute Grant Awards to as many of our Active students as possible as soon as possible.
