The method (s) used by the institution to determine which students received Emergency Financial Aid Grants and or Tuition assistance included abiding by the directives provided for each disbursement of grants to Auburn Career Center.

•	HEERF I was disbursed equally to all students who were Title IV students as directed. •	HEERF II was also disbursed equally to all students enrolled at that time.

Auburn Career Center then used money from the Institutional portion of both HEERF I and HEERF II for students who applied for Tuition assistance and/or Direct Grants. In HEERF I, for example, Auburn distributed money to all of the students who were not Title IV so that every student enrolled received some relief.

•	HEERF III (The American Rescue Act) is currently being distributed to students who apply for either direct grants and/or tuition assistance. The language in the application is the language provided for this disbursement:

The ARP requires that institutions prioritize students with exceptional need, such as students who receive Pell Grants or undergraduates with extraordinary financial circumstances. Institutions are expected to establish a transparent process for assessing need. Beyond Pell eligibility, other ways of prioritizing exceptional need could include students who may be eligible for other federal or state need-based aid or have faced significant unexpected expenses, such as the loss of employment, reduced income, or food or housing insecurity. The Department’s final rule on student eligibility for HEERF states that all students who are or were enrolled in an institution of higher education during the COVID-19 national emergency are eligible for emergency financial aid grants, regardless of whether they completed a FAFSA or are eligible for Title IV.

This application is for all students of adult programs to apply for emergency financial aid grants.
