CARES Act Funding
East Carolina University has a small amount of CARES Act Funding remaining that needs to be distributed to students. With an increase of online and hybrid classes, we would like to prioritize access to technology and addressing connectivity needs for our students.
The remaining CARES funds will be distributed in small awards of $500 each, to be used specifically for technology and connectivity materials or services (purchase of laptops, printers, scanners, web cams, hot spots or additional internet service).
To be eligible for CARES grants, students must be eligible to receive federal financial aid and have filed a current year FAFSA with ECU. More details on the CARES process, eligibility, and specific criteria are available here. Students (undergraduate and graduate) with questions should email covid19grants@ecu.edu.
The award application will be open for a limited time from 8 a.m. on Aug. 17, 2020, until 5 p.m. on Aug. 21, 2020. If you previously received CARES funds for technology or connectivity needs (CAET), please do not re-apply.
