Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds and Emergency Grant funding

The University continues to move forward with plans to distribute Higher Education Emergency Funds (HEERF), or CARES II, to students this spring. This round of funding will include:

• Block grants for undergraduate students with varying amounts of need demonstrated by Expected Family Contribution (EFC),
• Block grants for graduate and professional students in research based programs,
• Funds to support undergraduate student success/degree completion, and
• Emergency Grant funds.

Additional information regarding CARES II will be shared as it becomes available. 

We are continuing to accept emergency grant applications for the spring 2021 term. Students can email onestop@umn.edu with a request for emergency funds, and we will send the student an application. More information about emergency funds including eligibility criteria, as well as other helpful resources for students, can be found at Student emergency funds.
