After the initial Fall 2020 CARES Act grant distribution on September 15, Idaho State University is continuing to make weekly distributions to eligible students. The distributions are being made as FAFSAs are completed, verification documents received, and appeals approved. This will continue until the limited remaining available funds are exhausted or until the end of the Fall 2020 semester, whichever comes first.

If any available CARES funding remains at the conclusion of the Fall 2020 semester, information will be made available on the University's CARES Act website and through email regarding the plans for distributing the remaining funds.

Since you received a Spring 2020 CARES Act Grant and are enrolled for Fall 2020, you might still be able to receive a Fall 2020 CARES Act grant. To be eligible, your 2020-2021 FAFSA must be received and processed (submit verification documents, if required), and meet all federal aid eligibility requirements. This includes successfully appealing for aid if you are not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress, and the last day to submit an appeal is Friday, October 9th. Additionally, your 2020-2021 Expected Family Contribution must fall within our Fall 2020 awarding plan detailed on our website.  

If you have questions, please contact the ISU Financial Aid Office at (208) 282-2756 or email finaidem@isu.edu.
