Notes: The purpose of these tables is to provide 1) total and average dollar amounts of Emergency
Financial Aid Grants and 2) counts of schools and individuals aggregated by state of institutions where
Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) grants were administered. To the extent that
Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund 2021 State by State Data 2
individual HEERF grantees are enrolled at different locations or via distance education, these counts and
amounts do not represent the location of students or schools supported by HEERF grants, but rather the
central locations from which HEERF funds were disbursed.
Institutions were assigned to states based on the state designation on grant application forms.
The counts of institutions represent the counts of unique OPEIDs. In a small number of cases, multiple
entities with unique grantee identifiers (DUNS numbers) were associated with the same OPEID.
The counts of students represent the unduplicated count of students enrolled in the calendar year of 2021
as reported by the institution on the 2022 HEERF APR. The student enrollment count differs from other
commonly used enrollment counts such as those reported in IPEDS. For example, the counts of students
presented in the tables are based on a calendar year (rather than an academic year or a fall census date)
and include non-credit students (rather than only students that take courses for credit).
The counts of students who received Emergency Financial Aid Grants are based on institution-reported
data for the calendar year 2021. The amount of Emergency Financial Aid Grants dispersed in the amount
expended on other categories of HEERF funding also represent amounts dispersed for calendar year
2021.
Enrollment counts were de-duplicated in observations where multiple DUNS numbers with matching
enrollment counts were mapped to a single OPEID.
HEERF emergency financial aid grant recipient counts were de-duplicated in observations where multiple
DUNS numbers with matching enrollment and recipient counts were mapped to a single OPEID.
For one grantee that reported the same number of recipients as dollars awarded, recipient counts were
suppressed for data quality with the assumption that dollar amounts were reported twice instead of
recipient counts
