116-s-4465 116 s 4465 Emergency Grant Aid for College Students Act Education 2020-08-06 2020-08-06 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. Senate Sen. Smith, Tina [D-MN] MN D S001203 2 Emergency Grant Aid for College Students Act This bill establishes an emergency financial-aid grant program. Specifically, the Department of Education must award grants to institutions of higher education (IHEs) and, through them, emergency financial-aid grants to students. An IHE must, among other things, ensure that an emergency for which a student is eligible to receive a grant includes financial challenges that impact the student's ability to continue their course of study (e.g., loss of employment). Further, the bill prohibits an emergency financial-aid grant from being (1) treated as other financial assistance for the purposes of calculating a student's amount of need, or (2) considered in determining the amount of financial aid or eligibility for other public benefits for succeeding academic years. 2023-01-11T13:45:19Z
