  • Analysis of the America Rescue Plan Federal Stimulus
    MEMO March 12, 2021 TO: Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley Chief Executive Officers Chief Business Officers Chief Student Services Officers Chief Instructional Officers FROM: Lizette Navarette, Vice Chancellor, College Finance and Facilities Planning David O’ Brien, Vice Chancellor, Government Relations RE: Analysis of the America Rescue Plan Federal Stimulus Summary On Thursday, March 11, 2021, President Joe Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan into law. The new federal stimulus includes a robust investment in higher education with resources available for a longer period of time. Half of the resources each colleges receives will go to support direct emergency grants to students. Bill Details The new federal Coronavirus stimulus bill earmarks nearly $170 billion for education, including $39.6 billion for a third round of funding into the Higher Education Emergency Relief (HEER) Fund. The HEER III dollars will be allocated using the same methodology as the previous two iterations (with some slight modifications) and requires institutions that receive this funding to allocate at least 50% of those dollars to students in the form of emergency grants. One welcome distinction over previous stimulus bills is that the American Rescue Plan specifies funds will be available for use by institutions through September 30, 2023. Specifically, the $39 billion investment in the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund will be distributed as follows: • 37.5 percent based on FTE Pell recipients, not exclusively enrolled in distance education courses prior to the emergency; • 37.5 percent based on headcount Pell recipients; • 11.5 percent based on overall FTE students; • 11.5 percent based on overall headcount of students; • 1 percent based on FTE Pell exclusively online recipients (may only be used for student grants); and • 1 percent based on headcount Pell exclusively online recipients (may only be used for student grants).
