“Most institutions by June had disbursed the emergency student relief grants they received from the CARES Act, according to a survey from the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators,” Inside Higher Ed reports.

“The association distributed surveys to its member institutions in both May and June. The results show that 72 percent of institutions that responded hadn't yet distributed funds in May, but 94 percent had done so by the June survey.

Of those that said in the June survey they had distributed funds, more than half had distributed 75 to 100 percent of their funds.”
