CARES Act 2 – Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund Grant for Students

The Department of Education, through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds II (HEERF II) created under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), has provided Craven Community College (Craven CC) with emergency financial assistance to help students who are enrolled at Craven CC and have emergency costs that arose due to the coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental), or child care.

Craven CC has received $754,672 in HEERF II/CRRSAA funds from the federal government to assist students with costs associated with attending college. CRRSAA requires that Craven CC prioritizes the distribution of this funding for students with exceptional financial need.
