Stimulus Funding For Campus Health Improvements

About The Funds

The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) program is providing $61 billion in emergency assistance to higher learning institutions across the country. The funding is distributed by the U.S. Department of Education directly to the institutions to be used for student and campus objectives.
 

HEERF Program Details

HEERF II funds allow learning institutions to address HVAC and facility improvements in response to health mitigation practices. Institutions can also address deferred maintenance issues where a COVID risk reduction can be justified.
