Summer CARES Act funding is here and I actually got an amount! In case you forgot the CARES Act is federal funding for students enrolled in higher education who have been affected by COVID. This money can go towards books, tuition, or any other school related materials. How do you apply you ask? On my universities home page there is a link to apply in big red letters located at the top of the page. If your university does not have this, I would recommend contacting your financial aid office to ask.

I am looking at an emoji of money with a surprised look.
Now there are some requirements. You must be enrolled
in summer courses, have been affected by COVID, and you must apply. It does not
matter which summer semester you are enrolled in or how many hours you are
taking. The process to apply was very easy, after completing a short questionnaire
form I received an email saying that I was approved right away. By now your probably
wondering how much did I get?! I received $133. If you remember previously in
my first YouTube video where I
discussed the CARES Act students enrolled in online programs prior to COVID
like myself could not receive these funds but now you can! I plan to use this
money to cover my books and a portion of my fees this semester. I have not
received the funds yet but they will most likely be in my account by the time
courses start. You will receive the funding however you typically receive your
school refund.
