CARES Act
CARES Act, HEERF II, and HEERF III
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law. The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund III (HEERF III), authorized by the American Rescue Plan (ARP), Public Law 117-2, was signed into law on March 11, 2021.
The CARES Act provides emergency funds distributed directly to eligible students to be used for “expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus.” This may include unexpected expenses like food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, transportation and moving/storage needs. Beacon College asks students to submit this short form explaining how they have been financially impacted by the pandemic, and what their corresponding associated costs are.
Please note that as of March 29, 2022, all aid has been expended and no further applications are being accepted at this time.
When funding is again available, students may submit applications by completing the CARES Act HEERF II, and HEERF III (Student Emergency Grants) Application at any time.
Funds previously available through The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) — signed into law on March 27, 2020 – and the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II (HEERF II) — authorized by the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA), Public Law 116-260, signed into law on December 27, 2020 – has been disbursed to Beacon students.
ARP provides emergency funds distributed directly to eligible students to enable them to cope with expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These may include unexpected expenses like food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, transportation, and moving/storage needs. Beacon College asks students to submit this short form explaining how they have been financially impacted by the pandemic, and what their corresponding associated costs are.
As we anticipate the emergency grants process to be competitive, we strongly encourage students to submit this form as soon as possible. While we will review all applications received, awarded amounts may vary based on unique student circumstances, student/family needs, and while funds remain available. We cannot guarantee all applicants will receive an emergency grant or the amount awarded. Applications and requests will continue to be accepted and reviewed by the Committee until funds are depleted. Students will be notified of award eligibility and amount no later than 30 days of receipt of the application (most are anticipated within 1-2 weeks) and check payments will be mailed every week.
Related COVID-19 emergencies may include (but are not limited to):
Unexpected housing and food costs associated with the closure of campus housing and dining hall,
Technology and course materials/supplies with moving in-person courses to a 100% remote option,
Healthcare-related expenses as related to the pandemic,
Unanticipated travel, moving, storage, and other miscellaneous costs incurred by students and families.

The college has received $582,246 since its DOE Certificate & Agreement was submitted. The total amount available to eligible students is $202,715 under the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II (HEERF II). The estimated number of students that were potentially eligible to be considered to receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants in the second quarter of FY2022 was 442. As of July 1, 2021, the full amount of $202,715 has been disbursed to 48 students. Given HEERF II resources have been expended and given U.S. Department of Education direction, this is the last and final report on these funds.
