American Rescue Plan

The American Rescue Plan was signed into law (Pub. L. 117-2 (Mar. 11, 2021)) which provides additional funds for the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (“HEERF”) to assist public and private nonprofit colleges and universities in preparing for, preventing, and responding to the COVID-19 global pandemic. These funds are separate from those awarded under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, and Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA).
