Any wonder why we are experiencing the highest inflation in over 20 years? This is ridiculous! To get the money, students merely need to state that they were affected by covid. Not how they were affected, just that they were affected. No details required.


Penn State will award $50 million in emergency relief grants to help students enrolled during the fall 2021 semester cover any component of their cost of attendance or other emergency expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The grants are part of $76.2 million allocated to Penn State for emergency student financial aid from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) III, as authorized by the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021.

Assuming around 100,000 PSU enrollees, that's an average of $500 per student assuming everyone applies.

My daughter doesn't go to PSU, but she goes to a midwestern state school. She has gotten 2 or 3 random covid grants of $500. She didn't have to apply or answer any questions. She just randomly got an email one day telling her she got the grant. Like you said, Free Money!!!

Ha, wait until they get the bill. In the meantime universities just got to jncrease tuition, fees, or whatever BS they're calling it these days.
