GALESBURG, Ill. — Carl Sandburg College in Galesburg is set to receive more than $1.1 million in federal funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
The College was allocated $1,175,052, at least 50% of which will be used to provide students with emergency financial aid. Carl Sandburg is still working on how much aid each student will receive as well as when funds will be distributed, the college said in a statement.
Aid is available for students enrolled as of March 23.
The rest of the aid from the CARES Act will be distributed as crisis grants from the Carl Sandburg College Foundation, the statement said.
For the 2020-2021 school year there will also be no change in tuition, the college said.
