ASU received about $305 million through the additional awarding cycles of the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act and the American Rescue Plan to help offset the staggering financial impact of the pandemic.
The university’s priority will be helping students to stay on the path toward their college degree.
ASU signed and returned the Certification and Agreement forms to the U.S. Department of Education. The federal government stipulates that a minimum of $134 million be awarded for emergency financial aid grants to students. These funds will be used to directly support ASU students with financial need pursuing degrees through our campus-based and digital immersion programs. This will include:
Overall, we estimate approximately 78,000 students who may be eligible for assistance, and that this plan will help around 36,000 students including those on our campuses with the greatest financial need.

Arizona State University’s efforts to respond to the impact of COVID-19 on the university community and on the public at large have been supported by both the state of Arizona and through CARES Act funding provided to the state.
The university is very grateful for Gov. Doug Ducey’s decision to allocate $46 million through the CARES Act to reimburse a portion of ASU’s COVID-related costs. Among these costs are expenditures for public health and safety employees, isolation and quarantine management, student COVID-19 testing, and IT enhancements and the transition to ASU Sync, the university’s technology-enabled flexible learning modality. These costs are consistent with guidance from the U.S. Department of Treasury regarding the use of CARES Act assistance, and the funds helped the university continue to provide a learning and teaching environment that enabled students to continue their studies and stay on track toward graduation.

The CARES Act
At Arizona State University, student success is our first and highest priority. We understand that the stress and uncertainty of this global public health emergency complicates the already challenging endeavor of pursuing a college education. We are committed to helping our students continue their successful educational journey toward graduation.
The COVID-19 pandemic poses stresses on many levels, but the value of a college degree remains one of the best ways to ensure a lifetime of achievement, satisfaction and financial security. At ASU, we believe it is our duty and our responsibility to continue to provide high-quality education to every qualified student who is willing to work for it. To that point, during the spring 2020 semester ASU distributed approximately $566 million in total financial aid, helping 63,000 students.
For weeks we have been carefully planning how best to allocate resources from the CARES Act, funds provided by Congress to support universities and help campus-based students manage through the added stresses of the global health crisis as they continue their education.
ASU received $63.5 million in CARES Act funds, and the university has one year to disburse the money to help students. At least$31.7 million of the funds must be used for direct student support; the balance will help offset the significant costs incurred to modify and continue services to students impacted by the pandemic. Following are the details of our plans to disburse the $31.7 million in direct student support.
From now through spring 2021, we will utilize the $31.7 million in the following ways to help more than 38,000 immersion (on-campus) students who meet eligibility requirements based on financial need remain on the path toward graduation:
In most cases, no application will be necessary. These will be automatic awards, with funds awarded directly to students and their student accounts. Overall, we estimate that this plan will help around 14,000 students including those eligible for Pell Grants and other need-based aid. The awards likely will range from about $500 to about $6,000.
While the CARES Act provides welcome resources, there are many additional ways ASU may be able to assist students. Changes in economic circumstances might mean a student is now eligible for federal financial aid, or now might be eligible for additional federal financial aid, and we are having these conversations with students every day. If personal circumstances have created a different economic environment, we encourage students to visit the special site set up by ASU’s Financial Aid and Scholarship Services for additional guidance.
We also know that students may be dealing with other experiences and expenses as they navigate the way through this global crisis. It might be the need for a laptop or a Wi-Fi hot spot to help with studies. If so, students can check out a laptop or hot spot at the ASU Library. It might be basic unmet needs like food and nutrition. If so, students can also direct those requests to our financial aid office.
The university addressed every issue brought forward for the spring semester with university resources. We know that students have been tested this year in ways that no one could have expected, and we realize that financial stress is a big part of the pressure. We understand the difficulties that students experience, and our commitment to helping students get the assistance they need is a central part of our mission.
(Aug. 10 update) The other portion of the CARES Act funds will benefit virtually all immersion students. The university has incurred significant expenses to keep the university operational and to continue to serve students during the pandemic, which is our No. 1 priority. We will be using those funds to support continuity of operations in areas such as:
The university is now finalizing its CARES Act plan. Once its plan is finalized, the intent is to distribute the CARES Act funds in August, with some distributions continuing in spring 2021.
Arizona State University applauds the commitment of the federal government to come to the financial aid of students and families, businesses and public institutions across America through congressional enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. The university is particularly appreciative of the relief the CARES Act provides to institutions of higher learning, including approximately $63.5 million that will be allocated for ASU.
ASU signed and returned the Certification and Agreement forms to the U.S. Department of Education. The federal government stipulates that a minimum of $31.7 million be awarded for emergency financial aid grants to students. Our goal with that funding will be to support students first and foremost in continuing their academic studies.
ASU has a large student population with varying needs. When ASU has finalized the mechanism for the distribution of the funds, the university will report back to the U.S. Department of Education, the CARES Act funds will be released to ASU by the federal government, and the CARES Act funds in turn will be distributed to students.
In the meantime, ASU is continuing to work with all students who have expressed concern about their financial circumstances. In the coming weeks, ASU will consider uses of the remaining funds, particularly in the context of promoting student continuity during COVID-19 and into the next academic year.
Separate from the CARES Act, ASU has distributed nearly $1 million in emergency grants to students from more than 20 different areas of the university who needed immediate help.
About 1,400 students received the emergency grants, which ranged from $100 to $2,400; the average award amount was about $700.
The emergency grants were provided to students to cover expenses related to their education, including housing/rent, meals, flights home and medical expenses. In most cases, students filled out a form or provided information regarding their individual circumstances so their cases could be reviewed.
Numerous ASU departments worked to facilitate the emergency grants. Students may have worked directly with their colleges, through the Dean of Students or through Financial Aid and Scholarship Services.
The university also has helped students in many other ways during the pandemic including:
