HEERF I, II, III: CARES Act, CRRSAA, & ARP Funding Information
How has the money been spent?
Overview: Federal COVID-19 Emergency Relief Funds for UAA Students
Common to all COVID-19 Stimulus and Relief packages, the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund Act legislation contains the requirement for UAA to offer this assistance to the neediest students, therefore based on federal methodology, use of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is critical in determining need for those without anecdotal or documented proof of economic hardship. Consistent with past practices, any funds that become available due to the requirement to resolve checks uncashed by students, UAA may apportion this money in two separate and distinct means to make distribution as equitable as possible while meeting the spirit of the regulation for financial need.
American Rescue Plan (ARP) HEERF III
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan was signed into law. This provided an additional $10 million dollars in emergency financial assistance to award to students for COVID-19 related hardships experienced on or after December 27, 2020. HEERF III funds must prioritize grants to students with exceptional financial need, such as those who receive Federal Pell Grants. Due to a return of uncashed checks from prior distributions, UAA had a total of $65,827.38 to reallocate in HEERF III monies. This total was awarded on December 14, 2022 to 531 students who attended during the 2022/2023 Fall semester. At this time all HEERF monies have been fully expended. This notice serves as the 熊猫在线视频's final FY23 second quarterly report.
