<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans",sans-serif;color:black">On Tuesday, the Department of Education (ED) released new guidance on the third round of Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) grants authorized by the American Rescue
Plan. The department also released institutional allocations for HEERF III grants to public and nonprofit institutions, as well as proprietary institutions. In a shift from the previous administration, the guidance, including a new final rule on student eligibility,
also allows undocumented students, those enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and international students to access the emergency grants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
