Emergency student grants have become available to Cameron University students through the federal Higher Education Relief Fund (HEERF). HEERF was established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The award is designed to directly support students who have demonstrated financial need or may be facing financial challenges because of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and provide institutional support.
Cameron University was initially awarded HEERF funds under the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and received additional HEERF funds under the Coronavirus Relief and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
What is ARPA?

ARPA includes a Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund III (HEERF III) that provides more than $39 billion in emergency funding to higher education to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus. ARPA requires that an institution receiving funding provide financial aid grants to students.
