NEW UPDATES:
- CARES Act – Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds: Funds have been set aside for the Education Stabilization Fund through the CARES Act for the Higher Education Relief Fund (HEERF). These funds will be available to students who have been disadvantaged by COVID-19. Student Financial Services is working on an Emergency Aid Application to send to students to gain more information on individual situations to determine eligibility. Please keep an eye out for an email from Student Financial Services with more information and the application later this week. These funds are separate from and in addition to the room and board refunds that TLU will be distributing to students by the end of this month.
- Please join President Cottrell today at 4 pm for a livestream town hall meeting for students and parents. Here is the link to use for today’s livestream: https://livestream.com/accounts/14776640/events/9077451
REMINDERS FOR THIS WEEK:
- Registration and holds: Registration begins today. In light of the financial challenges that some of our students and their families are facing, Student Financial Services has temporarily lifted the registration holds on students with balances so that all students will be able to register this week. We encourage students to pay their spring bills as soon as possible. Please contact Student Financial Services at 830-372-8010 or StudentFinancialServices@tlu.edu if you have any questions.
- Recordings of President Cottrell’s livestream Town Hall meetings are available to view on TLU’s YouTube channel (youtube.com/txlutheran) for those who miss the live meetings.
