> didnt exactly get shafted like you thought with the stimulus check thing
This isn't "the stimulus check thing" though. There really are students who would have been eligible for stimulus checks who have been put in a hard spot during the past few months. In some ways, it would have been easier and more timely to broaden the scope of the economic stimulus sent out last month.
It's great some of the students who weren't eligible for the stimulus checks will be eligible for emergency financial aid grants through their university. Hopefully that will help them stay afloat as they plan for the foreseeable future.

Yes this. Some schools are giving some financial aid to some students, weeks after everyone else already received the money. This is needlessly slow and bureaucratic. There is no reason students should have been excluded from the first batch of checks.

All they had to do was request it from their administration out of the millions that each University recieved.
50% of the money the schools got had to go to cash money aid to students.
So not 'some schools'...ALL school's that got millions each.

There is no reason for that though. Remember how you were complaining constantly about not receiving a stimulus check even before the stimulus bill passed the Senate? And how it was unfair that you didn't get any money? These students STILL haven't gotten any money. Can you imagine if you still hadn't received your money yet? You would have worked yourself up into an aneurysm. This is a terrible process that fucks students for no reason.

University of Tennessee had 29,460 (2019)
students. They recieved 19,000,000.
Slightly over 9,000,000 went to cash aid payments directly to students.
And if any of those students were not dependents on their parents tax returns, which out of almost 30,000 people , some surely were not...they did get the $1200 check.

OK so let's do the math. Let's say that the money went to every student equally. That means each student gets $300. Let's assume instead that it went only to the neediest 33% of students (9,000 people). Each person got $1000. Again, they are getting this money a full month after everyone else got $1400 no questions asked, or more if they were on unemployment. Why are you defending this as good? It's just objectively less efficient on every level than giving students the same $$$ at the same time as everyone else.

Why not assume a percentage of those on your equation were not dependents on their parents tax returns?
Could be 10%. Maybe higher maybe lower.

Did you read this article...at all?
The majority of that money will be distributed as grants to students. Approximately 9,000 students at UT Knoxville are eligible for the aid, which UT has already begun distributing. That money will be distributed to students who have the highest financial need based on their FAFSA information, the university said in a statement.
Notice the words "have begun distributing" and "will be". Future tense describing actions that will be completed in the future.
Next,
Like UT, Middle Tennessee State University is distributing funds directly to students, with no application process necessary. The distribution process is being finalized, but students who are eligible for funds will be notified and funds will be placed in their university accounts.
And
East Tennessee State University is still finalizing how it will distribute funds to students.
"An internal team is meeting to create and provide recommendations to senior leadership on a plan to award and distribute these emergency funds in accordance with the CARES Act," the university said in a statement.
And
The University of Memphis also is still finalizing plans, but plans to distribute funds beginning this week.
Austin Peay University is finalizing plans for distributing funds, but "will prioritize distribution of these funds to students who meet the Department of Education qualifications," said Austin Peay spokesman Bill Persinger.
How can you have read this article and thought that students have already gotten the money?

Why are you saying there was a delay in disbursement?
This didnt just happen this week.
As I understand the money goven to the schools was in the Bill that the $1200 checks was in.
I just had not read about it until yesterday.

I quoted all four of the schools mentioned in the article you linked. Of them, exactly one had started giving out money. @previous (A)
I am not going to investigate what every community college is doing in a state I have never been to. I am only going off the information you have given me, which is that as of last week, one of the four schools they mentioned had begun (but not finished) giving out aid money to 1/3 of the students there. So a month after everyone else got $1200, 1/4th of 1/3rd of students got $1000. That is NOT proving the point you want to prove.

About 80% of non-students have received their stimulus checks from what I can tell. 1/4*1/3
= ~8% of students have received theirs. Students receiving less money late at 1/10th the rate of everyone else is indefensible.

Except for the fact their parents were paying their tuition and sent them $2000 dollars in spending money this year that came from a tax credit that tax payers subsidized.
Let that sink in.
A shit ton of people getting the $1200 checks dont get that $2000 tax credit.
So the student dependents are already $800 ahead of the $1200 singles crowd who doesnt get the child credit PLUS even more when they get money from the University!!

Some do. Some don't. That depends entirely on the parent. I would give my kid money, but there are plenty of parents who would keep that money for themselves.
Students who are 18 or over can have checking and savings accounts with banks that are not shared with their parents. The money would just go there. If not it would be received in the form of a check made out to the student from the Treasury sent to their school dorm or parents' home address, whichever the IRS has on file from tax returns.
