CARES Act Education Stabilization Fund

Congress set aside 1% of the $30.75 billion allotted to the Education Stabilization Fund through the CARES Act for grants to states with the highest coronavirus burden. The Department will make these grants available to states most affected by coronavirus through two separate grant competitions.

These grant programs are being administered through the U.S. Department of Education and are intended to support efforts by states, schools, and institutions of higher learning to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus, but each has a different focus and are subject to different eligibility requirements.

Funding Highlights

The CARES Act includes three grant programs under the Education Stabilization Fund:

Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund: $13.2 billion
Higher Education Emergency Relief (HEER) Fund: $14.25 billion
Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund: $3 billion

The deadline for the GEER program was June 1st and the deadline for the ESSER Fund was July 1st, 2020.
