When the pandemic broke out, Congress allocated an unprecedented amount of emergency aid to college students. The Hope Center’s report offers a detailed look at how that aid helped students and whether colleges were able to efficiently get it into the hands of those who needed it most.
In a survey conducted between September and October of last year, 69% of students said emergency aid increased their chances of graduating, 82% said it improved their personal well-being, 76% said it made them feel that their college cared about them, and 64% said it raised the chances they would support their schools as alumni.
