Capitol Beauty School (formerly titled Capitol School of Hairstyling & Esthetics - OEP ID 009617-00) acknowledges that it has signed and returned to the Department of Education the Certification and Agreement and has used no less than 50 percent of the funds received under the Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act to provide Emergency Financial Aid Grants to eligible students.

Capitol Beauty School has received $228,346.00 in Emergency Financial Aid Grants for Students.

The total amount of the Emergency Financial Aid Grants distributed to students under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act is $114,173.00

The estimated total number of students at the institution eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 was 116.

CARES Act Grant Funds will be issued at $984.25 per student that meets all requirements listed on the CARES Act Grant Fund Application.

The total number of students who have received an Emergency Financial Aid Grant to students under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act is 116.

The CARES act was enacted on March 13, 2020. Capitol Beauty School transitioned to TDE (Temporary Distance Education) on March 17, 2020 and resume in-person education on May 19, 2020. The emergency student funding is available to students that were actively attending or graduated between March 17, 2020 and May 19, 2020 that are meeting SAP at time of disbursement. Capitol Beauty School will disburse funds evenly across the student body to those eligible students after receipt for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus, such as food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and child care expenses.

The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act enacted on March 13, 2020 is provided to qualified students for expenses related to the disruption of normal campus operations due to the coronavirus pandemic. Related eligible expenses include food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and childcare.

Capitol Beauty School had a choice of whether or not to participate in this grant program. We have chosen to participate for the benefit of our students. Capitol believes its students have been financially impacted due to the pandemic and has applied through the US Department of Education Certifications and Agreements under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act, to receive Emergency Relief Funding & Emergency Financial Aid Grants to our eligible students who actively attended or graduated from March 17, 2020 through May 19, 2020 and meeting SAP at the time of disbursement. The allocation of student grant money will be split evenly among students who meet eligibility requirements and file the application below by August 11, 2020.

The Department of Education expressly defines what students are eligible to receive emergency financial aid grants from the HEERF: 
 Only students who are or could be eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), may receive emergency financial aid grants. If a student has filed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), then the student has demonstrated eligibility to participate in programs under Section 484 the HEA. Students who have not filed a FAFSA but who are eligible to file a FAFSA also may receive emergency financial aid grants. The criteria to participate in programs under Section 484 of the HEA include but are not limited to the following: U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen; a valid Social Security number; registration with Selective Service (if the student is male); and a high school diploma, GED, or completion of high school in an approved homeschool setting. 

By applying below, I attest all information is true and accurate, and am requesting a one-time Emergency Financial Aid Grant to help cover these expenses.
