UWM Notification of CARES Act

Description

An email from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee sent to students regarding applying for student financial aid through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act scent in the Spring of 2020. This email shows the recipient qualifying for $950 worth of aid.

“Never in my life has a university willingly given me money. They always take more than necessary. The fact that I qualified for the cares grant and received $950 was a foreign feeling to me. This cares grant assisted me in paying for a hotel room and gas while moving out of my apartment they [University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee housing] kicked me out of. My home is located about 8 1/2 hours away from the university, so it wasn't an easy move. The remaining money I used to help pay for my summer classes that were supposed to be in person, but I had to take them online back home.”
