ABAC CARES III - HEERF III Program
About the Grant
In April 2020, ABAC received $1.7 million in federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief ad Economic Security (CARES) Act funding to provide ABAC CARES grants to eligible students currently enrolled who experienced educational disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the spring of 2021, ABAC was awarded an additional $1.7 million from the federal Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) to continue to support students who had an exceptional need due to COVID-19.
Starting in Fall semester 2021, ABAC will award an additional $5.6 million through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) to help students with their cost of attendance needs. No additional action is needed by the students who qualify for this distribution. The HEERF III funds are open to all enrolled ABAC students including undergraduates, dual enrollment, non-degree, transient, international, DACA, and undocumented.
