Penn State to Distribute COVID-19 Relief Grants to More Than 23,000 Students

Penn State will award more than 23,000 cash grants to students through funding provided by the federal Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II, part of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act signed into law in December. The law directs university to prioritize students with the greatest financial need and Penn State President Eric Barron said he is hopeful the grants will provide a measure of relief to students most in need of assistance. “The university is thankful for this funding for students, and we look forward to getting it into our students’ hands quickly so that it can begin to ease financial strain and allow them to focus on their studies with less worry,” Barron said.
