Dear ASUN Student,
The CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act) provides financial support to students that suffered disruption to their education due to COVID-19. ASU-Newport will manage these funds. Please understand that the change to online or remote coursework is not considered a disruption. For many students, disruptions are considered those that can lead to hunger, housing uncertainty, inability to pay school costs, or other unforeseen circumstances.
So, what does this mean for you? ASUN has prepared two types of Student Emergency Aid to help. Please understand completing the form for aid does not guarantee eligibility; ASUN staff will review student certification forms to determine eligibility. Please see the sections below to learn more about each one.
Award Details: For Spring 2020, all active and eligible students (except DACA, concurrent, IGNITE, online-only and visiting students) will be awarded a Student Emergency Grant based on their need, their enrollment status, and Pell eligibility as of March 16, 2020. To receive the ASUN Initiated/Student Certified Emergency Aid Award, students must prove they have experienced a disruption in their education.
For students who have not completed the 2019-2020 FAFSA, it is assumed they fall into the highest Expected Family Contribution (EFC) index level. If you have not filed a 2019-2020 FAFSA, you need to contact the Office of Financial aid at financialaid@asun.edu to get help completing the FAFSA. ASUN School Code: 042034
How to Certify Educational Disruption Due to COVID-19: To claim ASUN initiated funding support under the CARES Act, please complete this form.
