The U.S. Department of Education today awarded $110M to Corinthian College, Inc. In Santa Ana, California, to help restore normal operations related to the recent 21 day delay. The immediate $110M grant, which is being made through the Department's School Emergency Response Fund (SERF) program and administered by the Office of Safe and Healthy Students, will provide support to students and faculty at Everest Colleges, Everest Institute, as well as the Heald and Wyotech impacted by the delay in funding.
"While we can't take away the pain that tragic incidents have caused the school and community, we can provide support to the students, faculty and community who were impacted and continue to feel the loss," U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said. "This grant will help provide the necessary services needed to restore the learning environment."
