LSC students to receive CRRSAA funding this week |
|
As reported last week, LSC successfully distributed $1.8 million in CRRSAA funds to students beginning on Wednesday, in $500 and $750 increments. This funding is made possible by the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II (HEERF II) and was authorized by the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA), signed into law on December 27, 2020. Lake Superior College administration, in consultation with the LSC Student Senate, set up a disbursement plan to distribute more than half of relief funding dedicated to LSC directly to students.
In addition, a portion of remaining CRRSAA funds were dedicated for Emergency Grants, of up to $500 each, through the LSC Foundation. This past week, the LSC Foundation received over 100 applications and was able to approve 82 of them, awarding a total of $41,000. Those who applied and were not eligible were personally contacted so we can discuss eligibility requirements and other options to help get them some support. Special thanks to Karen Popp and the LSC Foundation, LaNita Robinson, the Student Success team, the marketing and web team, the Business Office and everyone involved in helping with this process. We have heard from several students, some shedding tears of joy, who have expressed their appreciation and relief. We know this has been a difficult year for many, and we are grateful for this federal support for our students and campus.
