Dear Judson Students and Parents,

In May, Judson received a third round of federal funding, totaling $1,850,746, provided through the ARP: American Rescue Plan (HEERF III). This act provides funds for the University to issue emergency relief grants to students who demonstrate exceptional need.

The enclosed emergency relief grant amount was determined using the following criteria:

Since students must demonstrate exceptional need, students who are Pell or IMAP (or equivalent) eligible are receiving an emergency relief grant. There are three categories of students who meet our definition of exceptional need and are receiving emergency relief grants:

路 Traditional undergraduate and RISE students Pell/IMAP eligible with expected family contribution (EFC) between 0-9000.
路 Adult undergraduate and graduate students Pell/IMAP eligible with EFC between 0-9000.
路 Graduate students who are Pell/IMAP eligible with EFC between 0-9000.

All students in the three categories who meet our definition of exceptional need (as outlined above) are considered to demonstrate a significant level of need. Thus, we are providing each student with an emergency grant. The emergency grant amounts will vary inversely to the recipients EFC (lower EFC = higher grant amount). The table below provides the approximate total of grant funds given using this distribution methodology:

If you have a balance on your account, this will still need to be paid. You may choose to use this check to pay down any outstanding balance or continue your original payment plan.

If you have questions regarding your emergency relief grant check, please contact:
Sarah Taylor, VP of Business Affairs, [email protected].

CRRSAA: Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF II) Student Emergency Grants

In January, Judson received $655,542 in a second round of federal funding provided through the CRRSAA: Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF II). This act provides funds for the University to issue emergency relief grants to students eligible to apply for federal financial aid and who demonstrate exceptional need.  

Grant Distribution: consists of an automatic broad distribution in which the entire (100%) portion of the funds (approx. $655,542) were distributed across categories of students as discussed below. Qualifying students with outstanding balances were sent an email from the Student Accounts Office notifying them of their available funds. Students with balances were required to sign and submit a form with their selection to have these funds applied to their financial aid account. After the form was completed, funds were then applied or funds were disbursed according to the student鈥檚 preference.

Determining Eligibility for Initial Distribution Phase:
Since students must demonstrate exceptional need, the only reasonable way to document this is through completion of the FAFSA. Thus, only students who have completed the FAFSA and were determine to be Pell eligible will be included in the distribution phase.  

The student population selection pulled all traditional and adult undergraduate and graduate students who completed the FAFSA for aid year 2020-2021, were registered during the Spring 2021 semester, and were active students as of March 15, 2021. All international students were excluded by law. We further narrowed this initial population selection by defining exceptional need as a Pell recipient with an estimated family contribution (EFC) between 0-5711.

Defining Exceptional Need:
There are three categories of students who meet our definition of exceptional need and were included in the distribution of the CRRSAA: Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF II):

• Traditional undergraduate students who are Pell recipients with EFC between 0-5711.
• Adult undergraduate and graduate students who are Pell recipients with EFC between 0-5711.
• Graduate students who are Pell recipients with EFC between 0-5711.

Determining Distribution Amounts:
All students in the three categories who meet our definition of exceptional need (as outlined above) are considered to demonstrate a significant level of need. Thus, we provided each student with an emergency grant. The emergency grant amounts will vary inversely to the Pell recipients EFC (lower EFC = higher grant amount). The table below provides the approximate total of funds distributed by May 27, 2021 using this distribution methodology:

Category	Emergency Grant Amount	Number of Students	Total Emergency Grant Amount
Trad UG Pell w/Exceptional Need	$2500-$1000	214	$433,400
Adult Pell w/Exceptional Need	$1500-$1000	151	$214,400
GR Pell w/Exceptional Need	$2500-1500	4	$9,000
Total		369	$656,800

If students have a balance on their account, this will still need to be paid. The student may choose to use this check to pay down any outstanding balance or continue on the original payment plan.

Email to Students, Staff and Faculty

Yesterday, Illinois Governor Pritzker increased restrictions for certain regions in Illinois. Illinois uses positivity rate as its measurement for assessing the health risks of COVID, and the Governor determines what the risk levels are related to that assessment. Kane County, where 好色先生TV is located, has experienced an increase in positivity rising from 5.6% on October 8 to 9% on October 17 (the last date for which data are available). In response to this and effective this Friday, the Governor has taken actions such as suspending all indoor dining and limiting gatherings of over 25 people. Colleges and universities are not included in this action by the Governor. If any actions ordered by the Governor or through the Kane County Health Department affect 好色先生TV then we will notify our community as soon as we have clarification of those orders.

好色先生TV will continue with the health and safety protocols that have safely guided us through the fall semester. That includes: wearing masks, physical distancing, sanitizing rooms and washing our hands or using hand gel.

There are only two students currently on campus who are isolated for health protocols. We are blessed that overall our exposure to COVID has been limited. When we have needed to respond, our health and safety protocols and responses have been effective and thorough. Every instance of possible or actual exposure to COVID is unique, and the team at Judson has assessed each situation by relying on the guidance and assistance of the Kane County Health Department. The staff at the Kane County Health department has been a great partner to Judson during this semester.

A final reminder for everyone is to remain diligent in monitoring your health and following our health protocols. Please, if you feel unwell then work remotely that day or participate in your studies via digital means. Please wear your masks. Please be respectful of the health concerns and needs of others. Please maintain a clean environment to include cleaning surfaces you use if you can and safely removing trash and placing it in the proper receptacles. Please practice physical distancing. Please be aware of engaging others outside of your 鈥淛udson bubble鈥� off campus and especially during social interaction. Remaining diligent in these areas will help us ensure that we can complete the fall semester as we have planned by returning after the Thanksgiving break and ending the semester in-person.

Sincerely,
Gene Crume,
President
