$$$ Emergency Grant $$$
Make sure to check your cub account for an email from Student Accounts regarding an emergency grant! All international students enrolled in classes at UCA in Fall 2021 will receive $500. International students are not eligible for Pell grant funds so you will not be getting the extra $250. If you have a bank account, the quickest and safest way to receive your funds is through Direct Deposit. If you don't have a bank account you will be issued a check. Make sure your U.S. mailing address is up-to-date by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, August 25, 2021. This can be done through your myUCA account or through the Registrar’s office. If you have any questions, please contact the Student Accounts office at studentaccounts@uca.edu or (501) 450-5015. You may also visit us in Bernard Hall room 110 or set up a virtual appointment with us. Instructions for a virtual appointment can be found on our website at uca.edu/studentaccounts.
