SSARP Grant Info

The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund III (HEERF III) Supplemental Support under the American Rescue Plan (SSARP) program, created under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) awarded funds to institutions
with the greatest unmet needs related to the novel coronavirus 2019 pandemic (coronavirus or COVID-19).

Jefferson Community College applied for funding under absolute priority #4 Community Colleges and Rural IHEs Serving a High Percentage of Low Income Students and Experiencing Enrollment Declines. Under this priority, the Department has set a minimum threshold for these institutions, both of which must be met to receive funds: (1) 50 percent or more of degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students enrolled in Fall 2019 were Pell Grant recipients; and (2) a 4.5 percent or greater decline in student enrollment from Fall 2019 to Fall 2020. These percentages were set using data from IPEDS and represent the Department's attempt to prioritize institutions that have the greatest unmet needs.

Jefferson Community College was awarded $334,701 in federal funds under SSARP for the exclusive purpose of awarding emergency financial aid grants
to students of exceptional need.

As of December 31, 2022 Jefferson Community College has distributed $334,701 to 428 students
