The Department of Education has announced $36 billion in Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) grants for postsecondary education. This is the third round of funding for the HEERF grants, authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act. The funding will help over 5,000 institutions of higher education and their students. The Biden-Harris Administration is allowing grants to reach undocumented students and others, reversing a Trump Administration policy.
