The University of Idaho has finalized its decision on how students will receive CARES Act funding, according to an email from President C. Scott Green.

Eligible students will receive $513 for the spring semester on May 11, as long as they were enrolled through May 2.

“Students receiving CARES Act funds will be notified by email of your eligibility Wednesday, May 6, 2020,” according to the email.

To be eligible for this funding students must be:

  • Enrolled during the spring semester
  • Eligible for federal financial assistance (grants, scholarships, work-study and loans)
  • Not enrolled in online or dual credit for the entire spring semester
  • Must be a graduate, undergraduate or professional student

Receiving students will then be asked to confirm their direct deposit information being given the steps to do so if they have not already.

If students enroll in the summer semester, they will receive up to $320 around July 17. The amount may vary due to the number of students enrolled.

The eligibility requirements are the same for summer as above.

Any unspent funds will be available to students through the Financial Aid Office with an appeals process in the Fall 2020 semester. A process on how to do so is yet to be announced.

If students have any questions regarding CARES Act funding, they can contact the Cashier’s Office at 208-885-7447.
