What is the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund I?
On March 27, 2020, the federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The CARES Act established and funded the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund I (HEERF I) to provide emergency grants to students to be used for allowable financial expenses incurred as a result of COVID-19 crisis. One part of this federal program allocates money to Owens Community College, a portion of which can be awarded to students who are experiencing expenses due to the coronavirus emergency.
