The CRRSAA requires that institutions prioritize students with exceptional need, such as students who receive Pell Grants or are undergraduates with extraordinary financial circumstances, in awarding emergency financial aid grants to students.
Beyond Pell eligibility, other types of exceptional need could include students who may be eligible for other federal or state need-based aid or have faced significant unexpected expenses either for themselves or that would affect their financial circumstances, such as the loss of employment, reduced income, or food or housing insecurity.
International students may also receive HEERF. However, institutions must ensure that funds go to students who have exceptional need.
The Department encourages institutions to prioritize domestic students, especially undergraduates, in allocating this funding. This includes citizens, permanent residents, refugees, asylum seekers, DACA recipients, other Dreamers, and similar undocumented students.
We have opened awarding to all eligible enrolled students.
For the Fall 2021 semester we have 231 listed BA/BFA students with 136 enrolled. Undergrads are awarded as a priority and given additional support if Pell eligible.
For the Fall 2021 semester we have 445 MA/MFA students listed with 242 enrolled. Graduate students are considered based on need.
We started awarding the HEERF III in June of 2021 for the Spring 2021 semester starting with students in the graduate education program in Seattle. Some of these students had not been eligible for any prior HEERF or federal funding so had need for COA expenses.
It was then opened up to other graduate students in all other programs that had not received HEERF for the Spring 21 semester.
A total of $84,333 was awarded to 85 students.
We are continuing the awarding of HEERF III mid October to students still struggling with the COVID repercussions. $355,664 is eligible for awarding.

QUARTERLY REPORT HEERF II June 30, 2021
HEERF II (Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund) student awarding policy
HEERF II (CRRSAA funding was released in May 2021. There are a few differences from the previous HEERF I (CARES) awarding.
The college has one calendar year from the date of the award to expend funds. Funds may be used for pre-award costs incurred on or after December 27, 2020. Goddard has been awarded $160,167 for student awards.
Initially, students still needed to be Title IV eligible but with a few relaxed requirements (default, Selective service) were eligible.
NEW: As of the May 11, 2021 guidance, and according to the U.S. Department of Education’s (ED’s) Final Rule, any individual who is or was enrolled at an eligible institution on or after March 13, 2020 is now eligible for HEERF I, HEERF II, and HEERF III student grants. According to the HEERF III FAQs and the Final Rule, this is true regardless of whether the student completed a FAFSA or is eligible for Title IV federal student aid. This means that, in addition to U.S. citizens and permanent residents, refugees, asylum seekers, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, other DREAMers, and similar undocumented students are also eligible for student grants from all three HEERF programs. Therefore, our policy is updated to reflect these changes.
Financial aid grants for students can be used for any component of the student’s cost of attendance for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as food, housing, health care (including mental health care), childcare. HEERF II funds can be used to cover tuition or charges on their accounts with a signed authorization to the student accounts office.
Unlike the CARES act, the CRRSAA requires that institutions prioritize students with exceptional need such as undergraduate students who receive Pell grants. Our first round of awarding was for Pell eligible students. We awarded HEERF II to everyone enrolled for Spring 21 who had Pell for a total of $115,500 to 77 students.
Our next round was for undergraduate students without Pell that acknowledge their need of the funding. We awarded 9 students for a total of $9,000.
The third round was to support our undergraduate Education students in Seattle. The students were now eligible based on the new regulations. These students had not received a prior grant or additional funding for living expenses. Sixteen students received $31,000
Our next group in the HEERF II were graduate students from our Education program in Seattle that we not eligible to receive prior HEERF grants. We received two requests for a total of $2000.
Our last and final award was opened to graduate students that were enrolled during the Spring 21 semester. We awarded three students for a total of $2667 and this completed our awarding of the HEERF II grant.
A total of $160,167 was awarded to a total of 107 students.
