Many of you may have received e-mail messages from your school about the availability of HEERF (Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund) funding to support students who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These emergency funds may be used to offset expenses for food, housing, course materials and other items.
We are writing to confirm that for the Fall 2021 cycle, international students ARE eligible to submit an application for HEERF funding. However, please note that the International Center does not participate in decisions regarding applications for HEERF funding. Each of Tufts’s school is responsible for managing and reviewing HEERF funding requests from their students, so please follow the application procedures communicated to you by your school for more information.
