CARES Act/Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund-Student Aid:

Updated 10/30/2020

The CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund-IHE/Student Aid provides
funding to institutions to provide emergency financial aid grants to students whose lives
have been disrupted, many of whom are facing financial challenges and struggling to make
ends meet.

Louisburg College has signed and returned to the Department the Certification and Agreement and the assurance that the institution has used, or intends to use, no less than 50 percent of the funds received under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act to provide Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students.

We received $671,352 from the Department pursuant to the institution’s Certification and Agreement for Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students. There are approximately 450 Louisburg College students eligible to receive funds.

In order to receive funds from the CARES Act:

Students must be eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the
Higher Education Act of 1965 to receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students
under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act. If you have not filled out a FAFSA but
are eligible please contact the business office.
Students must have been enrolled at Louisburg College on or after March 13, 2020.

As of September 30th we have distributed $613,150 of the Emergency Financial Aid Grants distributed to students under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act as of the date of submission. A total of 445
students have received an Emergency Financial Aid Grant to students under Section 18004(a)(1) of
the CARES Act.

The award was formula based on EFC (need) and awarded institutional aid to determine which
students receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants and how much they would receive under Section
18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act. We will also be retaining a portion of the aid to award students for
emergency circumstances.

Classes will continue being taught through online delivery for the remainder of Spring 2020 Semester. Once the stay at home order is lifted students will receive an email with instructions on how to make an appointment to come and collect their belongings from the residence halls. Louisburg College will not be holding a face-to-face Baccalaureate or Awards Ceremony. We are in discussions about ways to celebrate and honor those students who have accomplished so much. Commencement will also not be held on May 16th.

The College continues to be closed for students, public and nonessential personnel due to the Statewide Stay At Home Order. Our faculty, staff and administrators are working from home ready and able to meet the needs of our students. We will continue to communicate with our students, faculty and staff through our Louisburg College email.
