HEERF II – Emergency Financial Aid Grants – Student FAQ

Why am I receiving this financial aid grant?

Under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), our  institution received relief funds to distribute as emergency financial aid grants to eligible students of our institution.  The Institution has prioritized grants to students with exceptional need. 

What expenses can I use this grant money for?

Under the law, these grant funds may ONLY be used by eligible students for the cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care) or child care.  

How do I apply my grant to my cost of attendance or tuition?

If students would like to use their grant for cost of attendance/tuition for a remaining balance due to the institution once you receive the grant from Bank Mobile you can make a manual payment by calling 1-866-801-1658 and select the option to make a payment (option 8) or by visiting the Financial Aid Office at your institution.

If students would like to use their grant to pay toward a student loan received to pay for the cost of attendance/tuition, the student should go to studentaid.gov and click on Manage Loans>Make a Payment and follow the prompts to make a payment.

What happens if my student status changes or I withdraw from school before I receive the grant?

Any current student who ceases to be an active student (or to be on an approved leave of absence) prior to the awarding and disbursement of the grant is no longer eligible to receive a grant.  If an individual ceases to be eligible prior to receiving a grant, any funds that were to be awarded to that individual will be awarded to another student in need.  

What if I do not claim the grant or cash the check?

If a student fails to claim funds within 30 days of receiving his or her grant, the award may be cancelled and the institution may distribute the funds to another student in need.  

How will the grant be awarded/disbursed?

All eligible students will receive their grant through Bank Mobile based on their current refund preference. Bank Mobile offers three options to students when processing refunds:

  • Deposit to a Bank Mobile Checking Account
  • Deposit to a personal Financial Institution/Bank
