Rose-Hulman will be disbursing financial grants to students from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund III (HEERF III) as authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP). As a result, you will be receiving a disbursement in the amount of $1500. This grant is intended to help you with the cost of your attendance at Rose-Hulman, or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus such as food, housing, health care (including mental health care), or child care.

The total amount of emergency grant funding allocated to Rose-Hulman was determined by a funding formula based on the percentage of Full-Time Enrolled (FTE) students who are Pell Grant and non-Pell Grant recipients. Your emergency financial grant amount was determined according to the formula established by Rose-Hulman based on your demonstrated financial need through information obtained from your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

If you have a direct deposit account established with Rose-Hulman, your emergency relief grant will be deposited into that account. If you do not have a direct deposit account, your emergency relief grant will be issued via check.

The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF III) directs Rose-Hulman to inform all students about its Special Circumstances process.  This allows students and families to inform the RHIT Financial Aid Office about a loss of income due to recent unemployment or other circumstances.

To participate in this process, students must download the Special Circumstances form from the Rose-Hulman Financial Aid Website: /admissions-and-aid/financial-aid/financial-aid-forms/pdfs/2021-2022-Special-Circumstance.pdf

Once all documents have been completed and received by the Financial Aid Office, a committee will review the forms and accompanying materials.  Appropriate adjustments to financial assistance will be communicated via email and updated award notifications.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 812-877-8838.
