HEERF
Grants
The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) grant program provides budgetary relief to higher education institutions for new expenses and revenue losses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The HEERF grants are divided into two portions, a student portion and an institutional portion. The student portion may be used for any component of the student's cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus.

Relief
The HEERF Grant program was created by Congress as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act or HEERF I), in March 2020. The program received additional funding from the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA or HEERF II) in December 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA or HEERF III) in March 2021.
The Department of Education is administering all HEERF allocations passed by Congress. Students should contact Ave Maria University directly to apply for funds. The Department of Education has given institutions the responsibility of determining how grants are to be distributed to students, how the amount of each student grant is calculated and the development of any instructions or directions that are provided to students about the grant.
