Santa Fe College continues to make COVID-19 Emergency Aid grants available to students who are eligible for federal financial aid and have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. These grants, funded by the CARES Act, are available to help address temporary financial crises resulting in personal emergencies relating to food, housing, course materials, technology, health care and childcare. The application for students enrolled for Fall 2020 is available online at sfcollege.edu/covid19aid.
To be eligible for the grant, a student must:
- Be a currently enrolled student at SF;
- Be enrolled in a degree program that is not an exclusively online program (cannot be enrolled in BA Nursing -Program Code 5400; AS Health Information Technology – Program Code 3520; AS Health Services Management – Program Code 3330);
- Be eligible for federal financial aid (eligible to participate in Title IV programs in accordance with sfcollege.edu/fa/process/eligibility). Students who do not currently have FAFSA online can still go ahead and complete one online at studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. SF has a detailed, step-by-step FAFSA video that shows you how to complete the FAFSA.
