Graduate Student COVID-19 Relief Fund
GradGov in collaboration with the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences is pleased to announce the establishment of a disaster relief fund to help Georgetown University graduate students with "reasonable and necessary" expenses related to the costs associated with the campus closure directly attributable to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.The fund is valued at $35,000 in total, and each selected applicant will receive no more than $500.
We encourage all Georgetown graduate students in need to apply. All applications will be kept in the strictest of confidentiality and will be anonymized and reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the GradGov Executive Board. Please follow this link here if you would like more information on the internal guidelines behind the funding decisions. In addition, we will provide money via the Student Account Office through digital gift cards. Please reach out to us directly at gradgov@georgetown.edu with any questions or concerns.
The Coronavirus became a Presidentially-declared disaster, as defined in Internal Revenue Code §1033(h)(3), on March 13, 2020. These funds may be used to offset any form of transportation, housing, or other expenses associated with this difficult transition. Payments will be treated as qualified disaster relief payment under IRC § 139 and therefore not reported on Form 1099-MISC, Form 1042-S, Form W-2 or Form 1098-T.
The deadline for applications will be April 22, at 11:59 PM EST. Submission of this form does not guarantee receipt of funding.
