HEERF Student Aid Funds
The Federal Government established the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Stability Act (CARES) on March 27, 2020, a portion of which, Student Aid Funds, is to be used to provide emergency assistance to students. Supplemental funds were later authorized through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA)/(HEERF II) and the American Rescue Plan (ARP)/(HEERF III) to continue support for institutions of higher education to serve students and ensure learning continues during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES has been allocated HEERF Student Aid Funds to provide emergency grants to Practical Nursing students experiencing financial hardship specifically due to the COVID-19 pandemic for expenses related to any component of the student's cost of attendance and/or emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus.
As a recipient of HEERF Student Aid Funds, Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES is required by the Federal Education Department (ED) to report the following elements on a quarterly basis:
