Clayton State applies federal funds to students balances

MORROW — Clayton State University has secured American Rescue Plan funds to help nearly 6,000 students resolve current account balances allowing them to remain enrolled for the fall semester.

“The pandemic was financially difficult for many of our students,” said Dr. T. Ramon Stuart, president of Clayton State. “It is our mission to help them reach their educational goals. Unfortunately, sometimes all that is hindering them from continuing their journey is a few hundred dollars. The emergency grant funds that we were able to obtain will help keep many of our students on the path to reaching their potential.”
