Cares Act
Shasta Bible College and Graduate School participated in the CARES Act to help students mitigate the
change and disruption in their educational experience.
The following staff members served as the CARES Act Committee to oversee the administration of the
funds received: Mrs. Linda Iles (chair), Dr. David Nicholas, Dr. George Gunn, Mrs. Faith McCarthy, Mrs.
Jane Deangelo, Mr. Eric Brown.
Dr. David Nicholas, President of SBC&GS signed and returned to the Department of Education the
Certification and Agreement and the assurance that the institution has used, or intends to use, no less
than 50 percent of the funds received under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act to provide Emergency
Financial Aid Grants to students. Shasta Bible College and Graduate School received $26,199 in funds
(50% to go directly to students as Financial Aid Grants).
The estimated total number of students at the institution eligible to participate in programs under
Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and thus eligible to receive Emergency
Financial Aid Grants to students under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act was thirteen. The entire
$13,100 in student aid has been distributed to student as of June 11, 2020. The checks were mailed to
students on June 11, with a letter of hope that God would use the money to bless them during this time
of crisis.
On August 3, 2020, Shasta Bible College and Graduate School was awarded an additional grant titled:
Education Stabilization Fund as part of the CARES Act Section 84.425N for $473,801.
On November 17, 2020, an additional $18,500 was awarded from this grant to on-campus students
attending during the fall 2020 semester based on how many units they were taking. All of the recipients
of the grants were Title IV ready and taking classes on campus. A straight $100 per unit was given by
check to the students. Nineteen students were eligible.
On January 19, 2021 a second portion of the CARES Act 84.425E was awarded to SBC&GS in the amount
of $13,100 for students. A second portion of the CARES Act 84.425F was awarded to SBC&GS in the
amount of $37,845 for student or institutional use. This second portion was available for grants to
online and on-campus students, but not foreign students. Each student was asked how they wanted to
receive their grant since this portion was available to remain on their account if so specified by the
student. Thirty-eight spring semester students were given grants with a total of $43,900.
On May 20, 2021, a third portion of the CARES Act 84.425E was awarded to SBC&GS in the amount of
$47,300 for students. A second portion of the CARES Act 84.425F was awarded to SBC&GS in the
amount of $36,892 for student or institutional use.
On June 14, 2021, twenty-four foreign and summer semester students were awarded $19,200.
On October, 2021, forty-one fall semester students were awarded $24,712.50 in grants to again help
mitigate the disruption in their education.
On March 17, 2022, thirty-seven spring semester students were awarded $6,687.50 in grants to again help mitigate the disruption in their education.
This was the final draw from the CARES Act P425E grant. The total amount of this grant was $73,500. One hundred percent of this grant was awarded to students.
Of the P425F grant, $43,800 was also used to award grants to students.
The final draw for the P425F award was on April 25, 2022 for institutional needs.
The final draw for the P425N award was on August 2, 2021 for institutional needs.
Precautions on Campus in light of the COVID 19 crisis
Although we are unable to predict the course of COVID 19 crisis, we know many are anxious to know preventative measures and back-up plans that are in place here at SBC&GS.
Due to the March 2022 vote by the Shasta County Board of Supervisors to end most COVID-19 restrictions, including the local health emergency and removing county policies surrounding vaccination and testing requirements, Shasta Bible College and Graduate School has made some adjustments to its COVID-19 policies and procedures. Here’s what are implementing as we move forward with prudence and caution:
PROTOCOL FOR CAMPUS VISITORS
We are trusting that our students, both on campus and online, will experience a year of learning and growing in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are praying for God’s protection over each member of our SBC&GS family.

Due to the March 2022 vote by the Shasta County Board of Supervisors to end most COVID-19 restrictions, including the local health emergency and removing county policies surrounding vaccination and testing requirements, Shasta Bible College and Graduate School has made some adjustments to its COVID-19 policies and procedures. Here’s what are implementing as we move forward with prudence and caution:
- SBC&GS has implemented enhanced measures to sanitize classrooms and other educational facilities to ensure the health and safety of our campus community.
- Hand sanitizer is located in each classroom and throughout our educational facilities
- Classrooms will be arranged to ensure adequate social distancing. The same will be true for the chapel area.
- Thermometers will be available to monitor signs of possible illness.
- Air filters will be periodically replaced.
- A point of contact person for COVID 19 related issues has been established in the
- Welcome Center, so that any possibly infected individuals will be known and accommodated.
- We are prepared to conduct all classes online if needed. We will always strive to accommodate the comfort-level of our students.
PROTOCOL FOR CAMPUS VISITORS
- All visitors are allowed on campus through the security system.
- All visitors on the campus must register and have their temperature taken in the Welcome Center.
- Visitors feeling ill or exhibiting symptoms of the flu, colds or COVID 19 infection should not enter campus.
- Visitors are encouraged to frequently wash their hands and cover coughs and sneezes.
- If an infected person resides on campus, they will be isolated for self-quarantine in an empty dorm until released by a medical professional.
- If an affected person resides off campus they must self-quarantine and should not return to campus until symptoms have been resolved.
- Anyone in contact with an infected person will be asked to get tested
- On-campus classes for affected students will move to an online format.
We are trusting that our students, both on campus and online, will experience a year of learning and growing in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are praying for God’s protection over each member of our SBC&GS family.
