Cal Poly recently received funds from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and identified additional funding sources to provide much-needed emergency grants to any student who has incurred expenses due to the disruption of campus operations related to COVID-19. These expenses may include food, housing, technology, transportation and medical costs, among others.
All currently enrolled students can apply for these funds through the Cal Poly Cares program today. If you are experiencing financial distress, we want to help as much as we can. For information on eligibility requirements and the application process, please read the FAQ section on the Cal Poly Cares page.
Cal Poly has several other sources of support for students who are struggling to make ends meet. To learn more, please visit the Cal Poly Basic Needs website.
