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:

An acknowledgement that the Certification Agreement was signed and returned to the Federal Education Department and the assurance that the institution has used, or intends to use, all of the Student Aid:

  1. Funds to provide emergency grants to Practical Nursing students.
  2. The total amount of HEERF Funds that the institution will receive or has received.
  3. The total amount of emergency grants distributed to Practical Nursing students.
  4. The estimated total number of Practical Nursing students eligible to receive an emergency grant.
  5. The total number of Practical Nursing students who received an emergency grant.
  6. The method the institution used to determine which Practical Nursing students will receive emergency grants and how much funding they will receive (Award Methodology).
  7. Any instructions, directions, or guidance provide by the institution to Practical Nursing students concerning emergency grants.
