AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT / HEERF III
The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund III (HEERF III) is authorized by the American Rescue Plan (ARP), signed into law on March 11, 2021, providing $39.6 billion in support to institutions of higher education to serve students and ensure learning continues during the COVID-19 pandemic.
All students registered for Fall 2021 classes, and for Spring 2022 classes (who did not receive an award in the Fall), will receive money directly and automatically - up to $1500!
Note: This page is dedicated to the new funding (HEERF III) established by the ARP. Information about the HEERF II established by the CRRSAA can be found at this link. HEERF I established by the CARES Act can be found at this link.
