Red Raven Students,
Coffeyville Community College (CCC) will receive funding for our students through the Coronavirus
Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA). This is also referenced as the
Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund, (HEERF). The CRRSSA funding is available to qualified students
who have experienced hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After reviewing the guidance from the
Department of Education on the eligibility and distribution requirements, CCC has established an
appropriate process for disbursing the funds to our students. Emergency grant amounts will vary by
student based upon the number of hours enrolled in during the Fall 2021 semester.
You have been awarded a CRRSAA payment from CCC to help cover costs that you’ve incurred due to
the COVID-19 pandemic. By accepting this payment, you acknowledge that you have expenses related to
COVID-19. Students receiving the funds in error will be required to repay the funds to CCC and/or the
federal government.
The funds you are receiving can be used towards expenses you have incurred due to the coronavirus;
such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental), child care, college expenses or other

expenses. If you do not have expenses related to the coronavirus, you may return this check to
Coffeyville Community College, Attn. Business Office at 400 West 11 th St, Coffeyville, KS 67337. I also
want you to understand that even though you are receiving this payment, these funds have not been
applied to your student account, and you MAY still have a bill with CCC. Please call the Business Office
at 620-252-7007 if you have questions, or check your RedConnect account to view your current bill.
CCC is committed to helping you continue your academic journey. Feel free to contact the CCC Business
Office or Financial Aid Office for assistance to answer any questions related to the CRRSAA funding or
future enrollments. We wish you all the best and do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
