Category C funds are used for direct aid which may be awarded to eligible EOPS/CARE
students who have documented unmet financial need. Direct aid may be dispersed in
the form of a check or voucher and is part of the student’s financial aid package.
EOPS/CARE direct aid may be awarded in the form of an EOPS grant, CARE grant,
EOPS workstudy or as an EOPS emergency loan. Title 5, Section 56254 limits the
amount of EOPS grants and EOPS workstudy which may be awarded to an eligible
student in a given fiscal year. For CARE there is no limit to the maximum amount of
CARE direct aid since CARE direct aid is based on the student’s unmet financial need.
Category C funds may be budgeted in object codes 2000, 3000, and 7000.
NOTE: For any category, EOPS and CARE funds shall not be used to supplant any
federal, state or local assistance.
