Coronavirus Relief Funding

The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act provided funds to De Anza College through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund, intended for emergency relief related to the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus.

Grants to students are distributed on the basis of financial need and eligibility, as demonstrated by their eligibility for federal Pell Grants and their Expected Family Contribution determined by the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Students are notified by email when a grant is disbursed.

Student Aid Distributions (2020-2022)

Under federal guidelines, the college was required to certify that it would distribute at least 50% of relief funds to affected students in the form of Emergency Financial Aid Grants for expenses related to that disruption, including eligible expenses such as food, housing, course materials, technology, health care and child care. De Anza College submitted the required certification on April 17, 2020. 

Federal rules also require the college to post periodic reports on its website regarding the distribution of those grants. Here are links to detailed reports on these distributions:
