How ECTC Determines Eligible Students & Award Amounts
As set forth by the U.S. Department of Education, the population of eligible students must be eligible for Title IV, Federal Financial Aid. Beyond the initial eligibility requirement, the institution has implemented an on-line student request/application form by which the student will state how they have been impacted by the pandemic and the disruption of college operations. The college review team will then evaluate individual request based on the stated need. Additionally, the college will also consider a student’s financial need as requested by the Secretary of Education.
How Students Were Notified
The College President communicated via email to each Title IV eligible students making them aware of the availability of the emergency funds. Students were directed to a web link that then takes them to an on-line application. The college also provided instruction through the college’s CARES Grant webpage.

Elizabethtown Community & Technical College received funding under the American Rescue Plan Act, 2021 (ARP) to support college students whose education has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The specific purpose of these funds is to provide financial aid grants to students.
ECTC began distributing ARP funds during the Summer 2021 semester and will continue by distributing these resources to eligible ECTC students during the Fall 2021 semester. Student are encouraged to check their KCTCS email account often for more information about the ARP grant.
The ARP HEERF III fund eligibility will be determined, in part, by information on the FAFSA and be can be used for expenses from any component of the cost of attendance at ECTC, and/or for emergency costs due to the coronavirus.
ECTC will use funds to impact student need as quickly as possible, funds are not guaranteed; are limited and will be awarded based on eligibility at time of selection process. Once all funds are disbursed the awarding process will end.
