HEERF Fund Reporting Disclosure (March 31, 2023)

On March 11, 2021, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan (ARP), which included additional COVID-19 relief for institutions of higher education. This new COVID stimulus bill included $40 billion for higher education institutions and students. Of this funding, Azusa Pacific University was allotted $17 million, $8.58 million of which to be used for direct student assistance grants.

APU signed and returned the Certification and Agreement form for the ARP acts within the required timeframe with the intention of utilizing a total of $8.58 million of the funds from ARP for student assistance, as is required by the legislation.

We estimate that 18,071 students are eligible for ARP funds based on federal eligibility guidelines.

As of March 31, 2023, APU has distributed all $8.58 million of the $8.58 million in ARP funding. This funding was distributed according to the following methodology:

• An immediate allocation of $2 million was prioritized for students with the highest need. High-need students were identified as students who had received a disbursement of PELL, Cal Grant, or the APU Valentine fund within the 2020-21 year. A total of 1,994 students who met this criteria received an immediate award of $1,000 each.

• After prioritizing the highest-need students, a second allocation of $3.4 million was disbursed between July 1, 2021, and September 30, 2021, to students who were enrolled since the time of the emergency declaration and had owing balances resulting from the COVID disruption. Students whose APU records indicated having owing balances were contacted via email and given the opportunity to complete a simple form indicating whether their owing balance was attributable to COVID disruption. In this allocation, 1,285 students were awarded amounts varying from $100-$10,000 depending on the size of their owing balance. Awarded students were given the option of having the amount applied to any owing balance on their account; however, awards and award amounts were not made contingent upon students electing to apply funds to any balances.

• An additional allocation of $2.95 million was awarded between October 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021, for students who were enrolled since the time of the emergency declaration and had owing balances resulting from the COVID disruption. Students whose APU records indicated having owing balances were contacted via email and given the opportunity to complete a simple form indicating whether their owing balance was attributable to COVID disruption. In this allocation, 1,106 students were awarded with amounts from $100-$10,000 depending on the size of their owing balance. Awarded students were given the option of having the amount applied to any owing balance on their account; however, awards and award amounts were not made contingent upon students electing to apply funds to any balances.

• Between January 1, 2022, and February 23, 2023, no ARP funds were awarded.

Beginning on 2/24/2023, APU students were given the opportunity of applying for the remaining $255,000 in HEERF student funds from the federal government. Students who were enrolled at APU during the COVID-19 emergency and who had owing balances are encouraged to apply for a HEERF/COVID-19 Fund Relief Grant by completing an application and indicating whether their owing balance is attributable to COVID-19 disruption. In this allocation, 54 students were awarded with amounts from $100-$10,000 depending on the size of their owing balance. Awarded students were given the option of having the amount applied to any eligible owing balance on their account, but awards and award amounts are not contingent upon students electing to apply funds to any balances.

As of 3/10/2023, all HEERF Funds had been expended by APU.

CARES Act Quarterly Budget and Expenditure Reporting Disclosure (January 8, 2021)

On March 27, 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, providing roughly $14 billion to institutions of higher education. Azusa Pacific University was allotted $5.4 million through section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act. APU signed and returned the Certification and Agreement form for HEERF funding. Of the $5.4 million, half ($2.7 million) was intended to be used for direct cash grants to students and the other half was allocated to schools to use for institutional support.

As of January 8, 2021, a total of 2,685 students were awarded a total of $2,669.086. Award amounts were determined after analyzing all applications received and determining grant amounts based on student need, the scope of the COVID-19 expenses incurred, and the number of applications received. In order to ensure that funds were widely available to students, award amounts were capped at $2,500.

Additionally, as a Minority Serving Institution (MSI), APU also received a grant of $442,000 under section 18004(a)(2) of the CARES Act. This could be used for either institutional needs or direct students assistance, or a combination of both.

CARES Act Distribution Online Disclosure (October 8, 2020)

On March 27, 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, providing roughly $14 billion to institutions of higher education. Azusa Pacific University was allotted $5.4 million through section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act. APU signed and returned the Certification and Agreement form for HEERF funding and intends to utilize 50% of the total funds (\$2.7 million) to award as direct cash grants to our students who experienced additional expenses as a result of COVID-19.

The CARES Act pertains to students who were enrolled in an on-campus program prior to the shift to remote learning and who are eligible to receive federal financial aid. The 2019-20 FAFSA application serves as verification of eligibility. Of the 9,000 APU students enrolled in March 2020, we estimate that approximately 6,500 meet eligibility requirements for a CARES Act grant.

As of October 8, 2020, a total of 2,682 students were awarded a total of $2,664,742. Award amounts were determined after analyzing all applications received and determining grant amounts based on student need, the scope of the COVID-19 expenses incurred, and the number of applications received. In order to ensure that funds were widely available to students, award amounts were capped at $2,500.

Students who were enrolled in an online-only program or who are ineligible for federal financial aid do not qualify for a CARES Act grant. If you are ineligible and experiencing financial hardship, you may apply for institutional assistance through the home.apu.edu dashboard.

If you feel sick, stay home! Do not go to class or work. Obtain a COVID-19 test. If it is positive, let the Student Health Center (SHC) know via the MyCougar Health Symptom Tracker or email (healthcntr@apu.edu).

• You may obtain your own free test kits from:
• covidtests.gov
• Your own insurance company.

If you are experiencing symptoms, make an appointment at the SHC to see if you need a COVID-19 test.

Students and employees should notify the SHC (healthcntr@apu).

Those who test positive for COVID-19 should isolate until they have not had a fever for 24 hours without fever reducing medications, and all of their symptoms are improving. You should continue to wear a mask for 10 days from symptom onset.

If you are a healthcare worker, you must isolate for at least 5 days and obtain a negative COVID-19 test prior to returning to work.

If you do not have any symptoms, you do not need to isolate but should wear a mask for 10 days from symptom onset.

• If you have an exposure and are NOT a healthcare worker, no quarantine is needed. Test anytime on days 3-5 and consider wearing a mask for 10 days. Employees should do the same, but a mask is required for 10 days after the exposure when around others.
• If you are a healthcare worker, test immediately and then again during days 3-5.

No.
