The 2021 Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) was approved by Congress and signed into law to provide economic relief from COVID-19. Part of the CRRSAA established the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) which includes support for higher education, including emergency grants for students facing expenses related to the pandemic.

As of March 18, 2021, Mitchell College has received $1,036,072 of which $308,264 is designated for emergency grants for eligible students. The student emergency grants must be used for any component of the student’s cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care) or child care. The remaining funds are designated for use by the institution to cover expenses related to COVID-19.
