Abstract: The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror and Hurricane Recovery, 2006 (Pub. L No 109-234 provides $50 million in awards to institutions of higher education, as defined in section 102 of the HEA, that are located in an area in which a major disaster was declared in accordance with section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act related to hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico in calendar year 2005, and that were forced to close, relocate or significantly curtail their activities as a result of damage directly caused by the hurricanes. These Hurricane Education Recovery Awards can only be used to defray expenses, including expenses that would have been covered by revenue lost as a direct result of a hurricane, expenses already incurred, and construction expenses directly related to damage resulting from the hurricanes.

Emergency Justfication: On May 25, 2007, in Making Emergency Supplemental Appropriations & Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2007 (Pub.L. No.110-28), Congress provided $30 million in awards to institutions of higher education, that are located in an area in which a major disaster was declared related to Hurricanes Katrina or Rita that were forced to close, relocate or significantly curtail their activities as a result of damage directly caused by the hurricanes. The law stipulates that the funds must be awarded within 60 days of enactment, whcih means they must be made by July 24, 2007.
