糖心viog官方网站 Quarterly CARES/HEERF Report, Sep 2020
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES), which establishes and funds the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF), directs institutions of higher education to provide emergency financial aid grants to students for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus. Section 18004(c) of the CARES Act directs institutions to use no less than 50 percent of the funds received under Section 18004(a)(1) of the act to provide emergency grants to students.
The purpose of this funding is to provide emergency relief to students who have additional expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus pandemic (including eligible expenses under a student鈥檚 cost of attendance such as food, housing, course materials, technology, healthcare, and childcare). Expenses must have occurred after March 13, 2020, the date the U.S. President declared a national emergency. The funds must be distributed directly to the student and cannot be applied towards tuition or fees that a student may owe to the institution or replace the loss of income.
On April 9, 2020, the Department of Education (ED) from the Secretary of Education announcing the HEERF student funding allocation, authorized under Section 18004(a)(1), which determined award amounts for each institution using a formula based on the institution鈥檚 enrollment. On April 21, 2020, ED published from the Secretary of Education which further described the nature and use of this money, specifically for institutional reimbursement of expenses related to the disruption in campus services due to the pandemic. Finally, on April 30, 2020, ED published from the Secretary of Education, which describes funds under Section 18004(a)(3) that may be awarded, known as Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education ().
Subsequently, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA) and American Rescue Plan Act, 2021 (ARP) section (a)(1) and (a)(4) programs were passed by Congress.
Under the CRRSAA and ARP (a)(1) programs, student portion funds must be used to provide financial aid grants to students (including students exclusively enrolled in distance education) which may be used for any component of the student's cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care), or child care. In making financial aid grants to students, an institution of higher education must prioritize grants to students with exceptional need, such as students who receive Pell Grants.
