Posted5/7/2021 10:37 AM
To support students and keep them academically on track toward their educational goals during the pandemic, Harper College has begun disbursing $7.5 million in federal funds under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) signed into law in late December.
