On January 17, 2021, Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) received notification from the U.S. Department of Education that the Coronavirus Response & Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) grant funds were available for distribution. Collectively, FVTC then began the administrative work to get the funding out to eligible students and to notify those students.
CRRSAA Funds will be expended in the following manner:
Phase One:
FVTC has identified the degree-seeking, financial aid eligible students with an EFC (EFC = expected family contribution as determined on your 2020-2021 FAFSA) at or below 20000 who are enrolled and attending Spring 2021 classes and will administer baseline grants according to the tiered metric system as shown below.

Phase Two:
Fox Valley Technical College students who were not eligible for a baseline grant due to having an EFC (expected family contribution as determined on the 2020-2021 FAFSA) at or above 20001 have the option of applying for CRRSAA Grant funding in the amount of $250 via an application process: CRRSAA Grant Funding Request Form. Students completing this application will be considered for a $250.00 grant through the CRRSAA Grant Funding to pay for emergency costs that have arisen due to the Coronavirus pandemic that are considered as part of the Cost of Attendance (tuition, books, room and board, transportation and/or personal expenses). Applications will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may require documentation for substantiation. Students who have an existing account balance with FVTC will be given the option to apply the CRRSAA Grant Funding to their balance through the CRRSAA Grant Funding Form. However, it is not required to apply the funding to their balance at FVTC.
Questions regarding the above information should be addressed to the FVTC CARES Team at fvtccares@fvtc.edu.
