On April 22, 2020, the University of Delaware signed and returned the Certification and Agreement to the Department of Education (ED) to receive CARES funding and intends to use at least 50% of the CARES Act funds received for emergency grants to UD students.
The University of Delaware received $6,087,405 in CARES Act funding from ED for emergency grant distribution to eligible students.
The total amount of emergency grants distributed to students as of May 18, 2020, was $2,496,897, to 5,220 students. All told, $5,940,300 was made accessible to 13,493 eligible students (the number of UD Title IV eligible students under Section 484 of the Higher Education Act). For students who have not completed the process required to determine Title IV eligibility or have higher expenses than the amount of the official CARES emergency grant, SFS is working closely with the Office of the Dean of Students to provide additional assistance until funding has been depleted.
The method used to determine which students received the emergency grants and how much they received was based on the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) according to the following table.
| EFC | Estimated Grant Amount |
| up to $6,000 | $800 |
| $6,001 - $20,000 | $500 |
| $20,001 - $50,000 | $300 |
| $50,001+ | $150 |
Eligible students were notified via email to the student (on May 11, 2020) and to the parent/guardian on record (on May 13, 2020) of the emergency grant assistance available. The communication advised students to refer to their student accounts for grant award amounts and to request the funds be sent to them either via direct deposit or check to their current address.
Students were informed these funds cannot remain on the student account to reduce balances due to the University. The University also required students to certify their eligibility for the grant funds by listing the amount of eligible COVID-19-related expenses the grant would offset. Examples provided to the students to assist in determining cost-of-attendance-related expenses resulting from COVID-19 included food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, child care, and transportation from campus to home. Students were able to request grant refunds to the lesser of the amount of the grant on their student account or the amount of eligible expenses certified.
