Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF II)

The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) was approved by Congress and includes support for higher education, including emergency grants for students facing expenses due to COVID-19. The 网赌上分平台 is set to receive approximately $4.600万美元,其中2美元.3 million is designated for emergency grants that will be awarded directly to students.
