CARES Act Student Funding Disbursements

Dear Beach Community:

As you know, Cal State Long Beach was identified as a beneficiary of funding through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in order to provide direct aid to our students during this pandemic.

We are pleased that over 80% of our students will begin receiving disbursements later this week. The amount of emergency aid each student will receive is based on financial-need information on file with the university. Additional aid is available through an application process to students who have incurred expenses related to COVID-19.

We are disappointed that federal guidelines prohibit us from providing aid from the CARES Act to our undocumented students who qualify for AB 540 status. However, we have allocated non-federal funding to help these students and will be in contact next week to provide additional instructions.

Along with the OneBeach spirit that has helped us through this challenging semester, this CARES Act aid funding is another important, tangible tool to help our students and support our educational mission.

For more specific information, please visit CARES Act.

Take care, 

Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D.

California State University, Long Beach
