Dear Student,
Congress recently passed the American Rescue Plan (ARP), which provides COVID-19 relief grant funding for students enrolled in higher education. This funding is often referred to as the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF III). This legislation requires that Idaho State University prioritize the grant payments to students with the highest demonstrated need. These funds can be spent on anything related to the cost of attendance or educational expenses, such as daycare, food, housing, medical fees, etc.
