HEERF III Federal Direct Grant Funding

Dear Stonehill Students,

This email serves as notification that the College has made a HEERF III Federal Grant payment to your student account. Your direct payment can be viewed on myHill, Student Home, MyBill, View Activity.   

As mentioned in prior communication, this award is made possible through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) (Pub. L. 117-2). The ARP appropriated funds for distribution through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF III) to support students, and the institution itself, with expenses and financial needs related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 

The College has prioritized direct grants to students with the following criteria: 

Must have been an active student who was enrolled in a full-time degree program at Stonehill College during the COVID pandemic or is an active student enrolled in the Fall 2021 semester. 

Must have experienced a financial hardship related to any component of the student’s cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care) or childcare. 

You may request a refund or add funds to your Hill card through myHill, Student, Finances, Manage My Credit Balance.  Refund checks will be made payable to the student and mailed to your home address.  Processing may take 2-3 weeks.   

You may reach out to the Student Financial Aid Office with any questions. 

Sincerely,

William Smith
Assistant Vice President for Student Financial Services
