All on-ground students at Hands On Therapy, who are in an active enrollment status during our Spring
term, and who have been determined eligible for Title IV funds, were given an "Emergency Financial Aid
Grant (CARES ACT) Student Request Form. Students that have not completed a FAFSA or whom have
been identified as not being eligible for Title IV funds have been contacted separately; we have
requested that they complete a FAFSA to determine their eligibility.
This process of identifying additional eligible students that are in a school status of active will be
repeated during the Summer and Fall term; these additional students will also be given a request form
so they can be funded. The form provides information about the emergency financial grant, including
eligibility requirements. Students are requested to check applicable areas in which they need financial
support for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the Coronavirus (including
education expenses, course materials, technology, food, housing, healthcare and childcare). We have
also requested any updated contact information to be used to mail payments. The form requires the
student’s signature and attestation that the information provided is correct, and that they understand
the purpose for the emergency financial aid grant funds. Once the completed form has been received
and reviewed, the eligible students are award a total of $500 per payment period.
In addition to providing funds to all eligible students in a school status of active, we have begun to
analyze responses provided by student on their Hands On Therapy CARES Act Grant Form. Where
students indicate that they have need for financial support for expenses related to the disruption of
campus operations due to the Coronavirus (including education expenses, course materials, technology,
food, housing, healthcare and childcare), we will award additional funds. The amount awarded will be
based on each student’s scenario. Students that withdraw or graduate from school will not receive
payment(s) from the emergency financial aid grant. We will continue this process until all funds have
been fully disbursed.
