3. Your related expenses must have occurred since March 13, 2020.

These funds may go to tuition and fees at Austin Community College, if you give your express permission on the ACC CRRSA application. This means that the amount you requested, if approved, will go first to take care of any tuition balance that remains on your account. Any amount remaining after your tuition balance is covered will be distributed to your BankMobile account.

CRRSA may also be used by students for any component of their cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care) or child care.

ACC will allow you to apply for funds once each long semester (spring, summer, or fall).
