Important information about emergency funds:

Federal and State Regulations do not allow CSU East Bay to provide financial aid recipients with funding in excess of their Cost of Attendance or 'Need' as calculated by the FAFSA/CADAA Application. (Need = COA - EFC). By filling out this form, you acknowledge that if you receive this funding and its addition results in excess, the funds may replace your current Financial Aid package in an order that will be in your best interest. For example, your loans or need-based aid that you may be able to use in subsequent terms may be replaced.  If your aid is subject to an adjustment, you will be contacted via your horizon email account. 

Note that adjustments to aid may result in an outstanding balance that will be your responsibility to settle. As such, before spending the funds it is advisable to review your aid package to see how it may have been adjusted upon receiving the emergency funds. Contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships  with any questions. 

The California Student Aid Commission(CSAC) requires Middle-Class Scholarship (MCS) Recipients to have all additional aid reported to the State Department. Please note that any additional aid may result in a reduction of your MCS, requiring you to return part of the funds issued to you.
