University of Arkansas Cossatot has announced the re-opening of its application process to distribute Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds for Spring 2020 students who may have previously missed the opportunity when it was made available in May. These $500 UA Cossatot CARES Grants are intended to help offset expenses students experienced because of the COVID-19 health emergency. The last day to submit applications is June 30, 2020.

Eligible students include those who have a valid 2019-2020 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file with the college and who attended at least one in-person class prior to March 13^th. 

Ineligible students include those who were taking only online courses before March 13^th, international students, concurrently enrolled high school students, and students not enrolled in a degree-seeking program.
