American Relief Plan (ARP) Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund III (HEERF III) Grant

The U.S. Department of Education is committed to supporting our nation’s students and institutions of higher education (IHEs) with the $39.6 billion provided through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act’s Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF).

Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine received notification on May 15th, 2021 of the $26,701 student grant award. The School established a separate checking account to manage funds and takes no administrative allowance. Checks were processed on June 11th, 2021 for six student grant recipients. A balance of $23,480 remains for future student disbursement.

On September 6, 2021, American Relief Plan HEERF III Student Grant Funds were made available to students enrolling in Jung Tao School for the first time in the 2021-2022 academic year. Previously enrolled students who received grant funds in prior academic years, or who had the opportunity to receive funds and did not apply, were not eligible to receive funds. The purpose of the grant is to provide funds for students to be successful with blended and online learning. Jung Tao School is making these funds available to students to upgrade or replace outdated technology equipment. The grant is need-based. The application will include an explanation of why the student needs funding and how the funds will help meet educational goals with blended and online learning. Deadline for the application was September 24, 2021. Following the application deadline, Jung Tao School Administration met on September 30, 2021 to review and discuss all applications, and a decision was made concerning the disbursement of the funds. Students were notified by e-mail on September 30, 2021 of the amount of funds that they would be awarded. Funds in the amount of $23,480 were drawn down on September 30, 2021 with an anticipated deposit date of the first week of October of 2021. Once funds are received, checks will be made payable to students. 31 students were eligible to apply for the American Relief Plan (ARP) Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund III (HEERF III). 22 students submitted applications. Funds were received and checks were processed on October 5, 2021. All funds in the amount of $23,480 were disbursed.

Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) HEERF II Grant

On December 27th, 2020, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) was signed into law.

The JTS Leadership Team reviewed all applications on Thursday, March 11th, 2021. The Team discussed the applications, amounts requested, funds available, and funding option scenarios. The grants were awarded to students with exceptional need, specifically for any emergency that may be the result of the coronavirus, directly or indirectly, including JTS school tuition and related costs of attendance, food, housing, basic utilities, health care or childcare. The Team voted unanimously to fund the application requests, based on a scenario which allowed for the full disbursement of the total $11,785 funds available on an equitable per student allocation. Applicants were notified on Friday, March 12th, 2021 by a way of email of the amount of funds that were approved for their requests, along with an expected date of when checks would be processed.
