Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) Reporting

On March 27, 2020, the federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The CARES Act includes a Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF). A portion of HEERF funds must go directly to eligible students in the form of emergency financial aid grants for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the COVID-19 crisis. In accordance with federal requirements, recipients must be eligible to file a FAFSA and eligible to receive federal Title IV student financial aid. CARES Act funds cannot be awarded to non-Title IV eligible students, international students, DACA students, or students enrolled in an online program prior to March 13, 2020.
