6. The methods used by our institution to determine which students receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants and how much they would receive under the CRRSAA and ARP (a)(1) and (a)(4) programs are as follows:
   1. In order to access funds, students must be enrolled as of the time of funds disbursement. The disbursement must be during the National COVID Emergency period. If a student has already graduated or dropped at the time of disbursement, they will not be eligible.
   2. When Grant funds have been exhausted, students will not be eligible.
   3. The maximum amount of money will not exceed the maximum 2021 Pell award that the Department of Education has set for students with an EFC of 0 when combining HEERF I, HEERF II, and HEERF III allocations. I.e. if a student received the high priority HEERF I of $910, high priority HEERF II of $1,000 and high priority HEERF III of $2,300, then their total allocation is $4,210 which does not exceed the maximum 2021 Pell grant award of $6,345.
   4. Student exceptional needs will be prioritized by using their eligibility for Pell Grants and their EFC as well as their eligibility to receive other federal or state needs based program funds. Students whose EFC is above 0 will be reviewed for Professional Judgement using the usual Professional Judgement documentation to support the student or family loss of income, food insecurity, or housing insecurity due to COVID-19 and as allowed in HEERF III guidance.
