Coronavirus Relief Funding

The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act provided funds to De Anza College through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund, intended for emergency relief related to the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus.

Grants to students are distributed on the basis of financial need and eligibility, as demonstrated by their eligibility for federal Pell Grants and their Expected Family Contribution determined by the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Students are notified by email when a grant is disbursed.

Students may also apply for assistance online by using the Emergency Funds Application Form.
