CARES Act helps with Audio Visual Support at Educational Institutions
Did you know that The CARES Act: Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund—Institutional Portion assists with any significant change in the delivery of instruction and allocates funds for hybrid learning? Funding may cover upgrading audio visual and online learning equipment to deliver virtual classes, interactive on-site sessions, or both.
Specifically, The CARES Act states, “Institutions may use the funds for Recipient’s Institutional Costs to purchase equipment or software, pay for online licensing fees, or pay for internet service to enable students to transition to distance learning as such costs are associated with a significant change in the delivery of instruction due to the coronavirus.”
Use of Institutional funds includes: lost revenue, reimbursement for expenses already incurred, technology costs associated with a transition to distance education, faculty and staff trainings, and payroll sanitation, personal protective equipment, or other expenses associated with the general health and safety of the campus related to Covid.
CARES 2020 and CRRSA 2021 ACT are both designed to help educational institutions dealing with distance and hybrid learning.
Institutions that entered into the Funding Certification and Agreement for Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students under the CARES Act may receive funds for Recipient’s Institutional Costs. Visit THIS PAGE to see if your school has allocated CARES Act funds.
