I'm not asking about loss of work study jobs for those who were working throughout the spring and still have allocation, since there is guidance for schools on that out there already. I'm mostly interested in assistance you are giving or considering giving to students who have lost on-campus non-work study positions or jobs they had off-campus. If you are providing funding, please describe your program and the limits you have set, what documentation you require, whether it is a grant or a loan, and anything else you thing is important to mention. We're thinking about the language excerpted from today's bill that reads as follows: Institutions must use 50 percent of their allotment for direct emergency aid to students, including but not limited to "grants to students for food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and childcare. I'm especially interested in any schools who have thought about what you might do for students who are already funded up to their full demonstrated need. Thank you in advance for your comments.
