Posted on February 12, 2021

Big Bend Technical College (BBTC) distributed approximately $99,000 to all of its full-time and part-time students Wednesday – the second round of direct disbursements to students from the local school thanks to two separate CARES Act grants awarded to the school.

“The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II (HEERF II) is authorized by the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA), Public Law 116-260, signed into law by President Donald J. Trump on Dec. 27, 2020. In total, the CRRSAA authorized $81.88 billion in support for education, in addition to the $30.75 billion provided last spring through the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economic Security (CARES) Act,” BBTC Director Jodi Tillman said.
