Yavapai Community College will receive $2,389,592 in Federal stimulus money as a part of the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund. The Relief Fund was authorized as part of the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, called the CARES Act. The act was signed into law about two weeks ago.
The first influx of money the college can access should go to students for emergency cash grants, according to the Department of Education. These grants can be used for things related to education, like course materials and technology, and for other support like food, housing, health care and child care.
So far, Yavapai Community College has not indicated how it will use the funds.
