May 7, 2020
Although students’ continue to experience tuition, rent, utilities, and other costs, many students have been unable to work or had slashed hours during the stay-at-home.
Despite their need, many students do not qualify for the $1,200 stimulus checks being distributed. Aid dollars distributed to universities such as Hamline are being directed to students who have incurred extra costs or financial hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hamline students should apply by 5 p.m. May 11, 2020 for grant aid from the CARES Act Grant. Fill out the Google form HERE. Eligible students should have completed a FAFSA and/or meet all Title IV requirements.
