Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF)

In late March, 2020 federal legislation was passed to provide economic relief to individuals and organizations dealing with the ramifications of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This legislation-titled the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (or CARES Act) established a Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) for colleges and universities in the United States.

Two additional bills were also enacted to provide supplemental HEERF funds and ensure learning continued for students during the COVID-19 pandemic: HEERF II through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Act (or CRRSSA) in December 2020 and HEERF III through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in March  2021.
