Spring 2021 American Rescue Plan Emergency Grant Student Aid Report (Final) see below
The American Rescue Plan was signed on March 11, 2021 and has appropriated approximately $39.6 billion for the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) and represents the third stream of funding appropriated for HEERF to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. Taken together, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (Pub. L. 116–136), the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA) (Pub. L. 116-260), and the ARP represent HEERF I, HEERF II, and HEERF III, respectively.
NYCTCM was allocated and has received $94,602 from the Department of Education pursuant to the Certification and Agreement.
NYCTCM has prioritized awarding of Emergency Financial Aid Grants to its students in the following manner (methodology):
| Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from FAFSA | Preliminary Award |
| Students with EFC = 0 | $1230 |
| Students with EFC = 1 to 6042 | $1080 |
| Students with EFC = 6043 to 18127 | $930 |
| Students with EFC > 18127, NO ACTIVE FAFSA, or INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS | $780 |
Under the ARP Act, students will receive awards ranging from $780 to $1230. All students enrolled in the Spring 2021 trimester are eligible. An active 2020-2021 FAFSA was NOT required. However, those with completed FAFSAs will be prioritized when determining grant allocation. An estimated 200 students were eligible to participate in program. As of July 15, 2021 89 students received the grant resulting in a total of $94,620 distributed. Payments are made by NYCTCM either via check or by direct application to outstanding balance.

Students are required to certify and attest that they have or will incur allowable expenses of food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, childcare, and/or transportation as a result of the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus.
All students who apply will be notified of their eligibility and the amount of their CRRSAA emergency grant award. The CRRSAA requires institutions to provide the emergency financial aid grants to students. The institution may not use that portion of the HEERF set aside for emergency financial aid grants to students to satisfy a student’s outstanding account balance. Therefore, the emergency grant may not be applied towards any outstanding balance for the Winter 2021 trimester. Payment will be made by NYCTCM via check mailed to the permanent address on file for the student.
