Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) Reporting: Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students

Felician University

Quarterly Report April 2022

On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) (Pub. L. 117-2). The ARP appropriated approximately $39.6 billion for the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) and represents the third stream of funding appropriated for HEERF to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. Taken together, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (Pub. L. 116–136), the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA) (Pub. L. 116-260), and the ARP represent HEERF I, HEERF II, and HEERF III, respectively.

Public reporting requirements for Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA) and American Rescue Plan Act, 2021 (ARP) section (a)(1) and (a)(4) programs.

As provided by the U.S. Department of Education, Section 314(e) of CRRSAA (Pub. L. 116-260) directs institutions receiving funds under section 314 to submit (in a time and manner required by the Secretary) a report to the Secretary describing the use of funds distributed from the HEERF. While ARP does not explicitly identify procedures by which institutions submit a report to the Secretary, the Department exercises this reporting authority under 2 CFR 200.328 and 2 CFR 200.329.

 

The reporting requirements are intended to ensure that the statutory requirements described below are met for (1) the CRRSAA and ARP (a)(1) Student Grant Programs (2) CRRSAA and ARP (a)(4) Student Grant Programs. The following are the seven reporting items:

  1. Felician University acknowledges the Certification and Agreement was signed and returned to the Department of Education. This agreement assures that the institution has used the applicable amount of funds designated under the CRRSAA, to provide Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students.
  2. Felician University received $4,345,369, under the CRRSAA and ARP Student Grant Programs.
  3. The total amount of Emergency Financial Aid Grants distributed are as follows: As of 04/20/22: $4,141,700
  4. The estimated total number of students at the institution eligible to participate are as follows: • Under HEERF II & III: 2157
  5. The total number of students who have received an Emergency Financial Aid Grant to students are as follows: • HEERF II & III: 1,997
  6. The methods used to determine which students and how much students receive from the HEERF III: Under the ARP, student portion funds were used to provide financial aid grants to students (including students exclusively enrolled in distance education) which may be used for any component of the student’s cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care), or childcare. In making financial aid grants to students, Felician University prioritized grants to Pell-eligible, enrolled students. A 1,000 to students enrolled in the Fall 2021 semester at Felician. Approximately, 1100 enrolled students with an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of 8,000 or below will automatically receive this grant.  Additionally, all students were allowed to request HEERF III funding by completing an online application. Applications were reviewed for eligibility and a $1,200 award was processed accordingly. A $1,200 maximum award was applicable for all students including enrolled students with an EFC of 8,000 ore below.
  7. The standards used for awarding:

In the spirit of The Felician Way, we have worked quickly, with competence and compassion, to help our students during this difficult time. To ensure that our students receive the money they deserve under the HEERF III, we have committed to the following principles in disbursing this emergency cash assistance.

Equity: Using FAFSA results from 2021-2022, we will distribute emergency grants based on financial need in the amount of $1,000 to students enrolled in the Fall 2021 semester at Felician. Approximately, 1100 enrolled students with an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of 8,000 or below will automatically receive this grant. Similarly, like students enrolled for Spring 2022 may be eligible for an additional $1,000 emergency grant based on availability of funding. This makes up approximately 75% of our HEERF III: Student Aid Portion for Public and Nonprofit Institutions.

The remaining 25% is available for all eligible students with additional expenses due to the pandemic and disruption of on-campus operations. By completing our CARES emergency grant application, grants may be requested to cover unforeseen expenses such as food, housing, course materials, technology, healthcare, and childcare at a maximum award of $1,200.

Transparency: We are committed to communicating with students regularly and have already begun doing so via Felician emails and newsletters. To access updated information regarding the CARES emergency grant application and process, please visit felician.edu/studentfinancialservices.

Quarterly Fund Report- as of 10/05/21

In May of 2021, Felician University received the student aid portion of the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF III) as authorized by the American Rescue Plan (ARP), signed into law on March 11, 2021, providing support to institutions of higher education to serve students and ensure learning continues during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following information is provided by Felician University in response to the Department of Education’s reporting requirements.

  1. Felician University acknowledges the Certification and Agreement was signed and returned to the Department of Education. This agreement assures that the institution has used the applicable amount of funds designated under the CRRSAA, to provide Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students.
  2. Felician received $3,223,619 of a supplemental HEERF III award through the American Rescue Plan Act to be distributed to students who have been financially impacted by the pandemic to help offset expenses incurred with respect to items like food, housing costs, course materials, technology, healthcare including mental health, and childcare.
  3. The total amount of Emergency Financial Aid Grants distributed from HEERF III are as follows: As of 10/05/21: $0.
  4. The estimated total number of students at the institution eligible to participate are as follows: • Under HEERF III: 2300
  5. The total number of students who have received an HEERF III Emergency Financial Aid Grant to students are as follows as of 10/05/21: 0
  6. The method(s) used by the institution to determine which students receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants and how much they would receive under the ARP program (HEERF III).

Like the HEERF II funds, the HEERF III funds include no student eligibility requirements either. However, institutions are required to prioritize grants to students with exceptional financial need, such as those who receive Pell Grants. The HEERF III funds can be awarded to online students as well. Eligible student groups include citizens, permanent residents, international students, refugees, asylum seekers, DACA recipients, other DREAMers, and similar undocumented students. Under the CRRSAA, student portion funds were used to provide financial aid grants to students (including students exclusively enrolled in distance education) which may be used for any component of the student’s cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care), or childcare. In making financial aid grants to students, Felician University prioritized grants to Pell-eligible, enrolled students.

  1. The standards used for awarding:

In the spirit of The Felician Way, we have worked quickly, with competence and compassion, to help our students during this difficult time. To ensure that our students receive the money they deserve under the HEERF III, we have committed to the following principles in disbursing this emergency cash assistance.

Equity: Using FAFSA results from 2021-2022, we will distribute emergency grants based on financial need in the amount of $1,000 to students enrolled in the Fall 2021 semester at Felician.  Approximately, 1100 enrolled students with an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of 8,000 or below will automatically receive this grant post census. Similarly, like students enrolled for Spring 2022 may be eligible for an additional $1,000 emergency grant based on availability of funding. This makes up approximately 75% of our HEERF III: Student Aid Portion for Public and Nonprofit Institutions.

The remaining 25% is available for all eligible students with additional expenses due to the pandemic and disruption of on-campus operations. By completing our CARES grant application, grants may be requested to cover unforeseen expenses such as food, housing, course materials, technology, healthcare, and childcare at a maximum award of $1,200.

Transparency: We are committed to communicating with students regularly and have already begun doing so via Felician emails and newsletters. To access updated information regarding the CARES Grant application and process, please visit felician.edu/studentfinancialservices.

Important: Student’s may now use these financial aid grants toward tuition and fees, if the University has obtained the student’s written (or electronic), affirmative consent.  To complete this authorization simply click here (Insert new application).
