Emergency Funding

About the CARES Act and CRRSA (CARES Act II)

We know that the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected your lives. It has caused many of you to experience significant emotional and financial stress while trying to keep yourselves and your families healthy and safe.

Green River College has been allocated funds from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. The CARES Act established and funded the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) to provide emergency financial aid grants. These critical funds will help eligible GRC students cover expenses related to unanticipated travel, additional technology requirements, or other needs related to an emergency situation.

Additionally, Green River College has been allocated funds from the federal Coronavirus Reponse and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act. The CRRSA Act functions similarly to the CARES Act and can be used to assist with similar emergency expenses eligible students may experience.

Green River College is here for you and we want to help you succeed!

By filling out the application, you are applying for all of the emergency funding we offer. Based on your application we will refer you to the funding source you are eligible for.
