In order to adhere to the awarding guidance of CRRSAA, BAMA prioritized awarding students who were eligible for Title IV funding, and who were identified as having exceptional financial need. Students were required to apply for the fund by completing a COVID-19 Relief Application.
Awards were based on academic status, EFC, and employment status.
All currently enrolled Bay Area Medical Academy students enrolled in Title IV Programs as of August 1, 2020 (the date the HEERF I funds were completely disbursed), who were eligible to receive federal financial aid, were considered for emergency grants funded by HEERF II.
The main criteria for the grant were the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Note that at BAMA, students not qualified for FAFSA were considered for HEERF III funds, which had expanded eligibility by the DOE as of May 11, 2021.
Whether a student qualified for these funds was based on current enrollment status, program, Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as reflected on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as well as the student’s work status. Standard grant amount awards ranged from $700 to $1,500.
Emergency grants were given to students to be put towards any component of their cost of attendance and/or emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as:
Books and supplies needed for online course(s) completion
Technology needs for online course delivery (Internet, data plan, etc.)
Unexpected medical expenses (including mental health)
Expenses related to moving, rent, or other housing needs
Childcare
Awards were made directly to students via check.
Emergency Relief Funds should not be taxable income for the student. Please refer to the following IRS guidance.
