HEERF I, II & III - Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students
The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) I, II and III were passed by Congress and signed into law. The President signed HEERF I into law on March 27, 2020, HEERF II on December 27, 2020, and HEERF III on March 11, 2021 to provide economic relief for students due to COVID-19. The law establishes fundings for schools to provide emergency financial aid grants to students. The grants may be used for any component of the student’s cost of attendance or emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care), or childcare.
