Am I eligible for CARES Act Funds?

Answer:

Undergraduate, graduate and medical degree-seeking students are eligible, but must have submitted a 2019-2020 FAFSA or must submit a FAFSA application by the June 30 deadline in order to be eligible for the funding. Students must also meet federal aid eligibility criteria, including but not limited to:

Being a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen (i.e. permanent resident or conditional permanent resident)
Having a valid Social Security number
Having a high school diploma, GED or completion of high school in an approved homeschool setting
Being degree-seeking
Must be enrolled in the term for which they are seeking assistance
Cannot be in default on federal student loans
Being registered with Selective Service, if male
Meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress
Cannot exceed aggregate loan limit or Pell Grant lifetime usage
Cannot owe an overpayment on federal aid programs

Additionally, students enrolled in an all online program of study are not eligible.

Funding is limited, and applications will be reviewed based upon request. For students who are not eligible for CARES Act funding, UCF will evaluate applications to determine whether other forms of assistance may apply.
