Voluntary Decline of Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF) Form
Directions: This form may be completed by an institution that would like to decline all or a portion of its American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) formula grant award(s) under the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) grant programs. Institutions that have not received HEERF grant funds should not complete this form. Completed forms must be emailed to [email protected] by August 11, 2021.
Once received, the Department of Education will deobligate the funds the institution indicates in Section 1 from the institution’s G5 account or, depending on the timing the form is received, will not make ARP HEERF supplemental award(s) to the institution. Any funds that are declined by the institution will be redistributed to other institutions with greater needs due to the coronavirus by re-running the appropriate HEERF distribution formula(s) and making additional supplemental awards to those institutions that have not declined funds.
Section 1: Amount, source, and PR/award numbers of HEERF grant funds being declined Please indicate by Assistance Listing Number (ALN) the amount your institution is declining and the grant PR/Award number (found in box 2 of your ARP HEERF Grant Award Notification (GAN)). Please note that if the amount declined below is greater than the current balance in G5, the Department will deobligate the entire amount remaining in G5. Institutions declining student aid portion funds must not decline more than the amount of institutional funds they are declining.
