Has COVID-19 affected your financial situation?
The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many of our applicants’ financial situations. The recently passed Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF III) provides emergency funding to higher institutions so that they can provide additional financial aid to students. If COVID-19 has been the cause of a job loss, salary reduction or other financial hardship for your family, you may wish to appeal to your college’s financial aid office to ask for an increase in aid. If you have not received financial aid in the past, you can still appeal to your school’s financial aid office for financial assistance. For a step-by-step guide with tips and recommendations on how to appeal, see this helpful tip sheet and this Forbes article. Please note, the Scholarship Foundation cannot assist you with this process. Instead, you will need to work with your school’s financial aid office directly.
