CARES/HEERF Grant
Due to circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Department has granted us the authority to provide relief on a case-by-case basis to assist qualifying college students facing hardship. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act – Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) Grant at ETI School of Skilled Trades provides emergency financial assistance to eligible students who have been directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Students who have experienced a temporary furlough or an unexpected expense (childcare, technology, ect.) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic may request assistance from the Higher Education Relief Fund. Applicants must be able to provide documentation supporting the need. These funds are limited and will be issued on a first-come, first-serve basis.
ETI School of Skilled Trades will distribute $2,000.00 to qualifying applicants.
