Recipient’s Funding Certification and Agreement
for the Institutional Portion of the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund
Formula Grants Authorized by Section 18004(a)(1) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security (CARES) Act
Sections 18004(a)(1) and 18004(c) of the CARES Act, Pub. L. No. 116-136 (March 27, 2020),
authorizes the Secretary of Education (“Secretary”) to allocate a maximum institutional portion of the
formula grant funds in the amount of $________________________________________ (up to 50
percent of the amount authorized under Section 18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act) to
____________________________________(“Recipient”).
Section 18004(c) of the CARES Act allows Recipient to use up to 50 percent of the funds
received to cover any costs associated with significant changes to the delivery of instruction due to
the coronavirus so long as such costs do not include payment to contractors for the provision of pre-
enrollment recruitment activities, including marketing and advertising; endowments; or capital
outlays associated with facilities related to athletics, sectarian instruction, or religious worship
(collectively referred to as “Recipient’s Institutional Costs”). Section 18004(c) also requires
Recipient to use no less than fifty percent of the funds received to provide emergency financial aid
grants to students for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus
(including eligible expenses under a student’s cost of attendance such as food, housing, course
materials, technology, health care, and child care). This Certification and Agreement solely concerns
Recipient’s Institutional Costs, as defined above.
To address Recipient’s Institutional Costs, and pursuant to the Secretary’s authority under the
CARES Act and associated with the coronavirus emergency, as stated in Proclamation 9994 of March
13, 2020, “Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)
Outbreak,” Federal Register Vol. 85, No. 53 at 15337-38 (hereinafter “Proclamation of National
Emergency”), the Secretary and Recipient agree as follows:
1. The Secretary will provide Recipient funds for Recipient’s Institutional Costs as
authorized under Sections 18004(a)(1) and 18004(c) of the CARES Act.
2. As a condition for receiving funds for Recipient’s Institutional Costs, Recipient must
have entered into the Funding Certification and Agreement for Emergency Financial Aid Grants to
Students under the CARES Act. Recipient may, but is not required to, use funds designated for
Recipient’s Institutional Costs to provide additional emergency financial aid grants to students for
expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus. If Recipient chooses to
use funds designated for Recipient’s Institutional Costs to provide such emergency financial aid
grants to students, then the funds are subject to the requirements in the Funding Certification and
Agreement for the Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students under the CARES Act, entered into
between Recipient and the Secretary.
3. The Secretary urges Recipient to devote the maximum amount of funds possible to
emergency financial aid grants to students, including some or all of the funds earmarked for
Recipient’s Institutional Costs, especially if Recipient has significant endowment or other resources

at its disposal. The Secretary urges Recipient to take strong measures to ensure that emergency
financial aid grants to students are made to the maximum extent possible.
4. In consideration for the funds and as conditions for their receipt, Recipient warrants,
acknowledges, and agrees that:
(a) The funds shall be used solely for the purposes authorized in Section 18004(c) of the
CARES Act. In accordance with Section 18004(c) of the CARES Act, Recipient shall not use funds
for payment to contractors for the provision of pre-enrollment recruitment activities, which include
marketing and advertising; endowments; or capital outlays associated with facilities related to
athletics, sectarian instruction, or religious worship.
(b) Recipient retains discretion in determining how to allocate and use the funds provided
hereunder, provided that funds will be spent only on those costs for which Recipient has a reasoned
basis for concluding such costs have a clear nexus to significant changes to the delivery of instruction
due to the coronavirus. It is permissible for Recipient to use the funds for Recipient’s Institutional
Costs to reimburse itself for costs related to refunds made to students for housing, food, or other
services that Recipient could no longer provide, or for hardware, software, or internet connectivity
that Recipient may have purchased on behalf of students or provided to students.
(c) Consistent with Section 18006 of the CARES Act, Recipient agrees that to the greatest
extent practicable, Recipient will pay all of its employees and contractors during the period of any
disruptions or closures related to the coronavirus. The Department would not consider the following
Recipient’s Institutional Costs to be related to significant changes to the delivery of instruction due
to the coronavirus, and therefore would not view them as allowable expenditures: senior administrator
and/or executive salaries, benefits, bonuses, contracts, incentives; stock buybacks, shareholder
dividends, capital distributions, and stock options; and any other cash or other benefit for a senior
administrator or executive.
(d) Recipient’s Institutional Costs must have been first incurred on or after March 13, 2020,
the date of the Proclamation of National Emergency.
(e) Recipient will comply with all reporting requirements including those in Section
15011(b)(2) of Division B of the CARES Act and submit required quarterly reports to the Secretary,
at such time and in such manner and containing such information as the Secretary may reasonably
require (See also 2 CFR 200.327-200.329). The Secretary may require additional reporting in the
future, including but not limited to reporting on the use of the funds for Recipient’s Institutional Costs,
demonstrating such use was in accordance with Section 18004(c), accounting for the amount of
reimbursements to the Recipient for costs related to refunds made to students for housing, food, or
other services that Recipient could no longer provide, and describing any internal controls Recipient
has in place to ensure that funds were used for allowable purposes and in accordance with cash
management principles.
(f) Recipient shall comply with all requirements in Attachment A to this Certification and
Agreement.
2
(g) Recipient shall promptly and to the greatest extent practicable use the funds for Recipient’s
Institutional Costs by one year from the date of this Certification and Agreement, and document its
efforts to do so as part of the reports specified in subsection (e) above.
(h) Recipient shall cooperate with any examination of records with respect to the funds for
Recipient’s Institutional Costs by making records and authorized individuals available when
requested, whether by (i) the U.S. Department of Education and/or its Inspector General; or (ii) any
other federal agency, commission, or department in the lawful exercise of its jurisdiction and
authority.
(i) Recipient’s failure to comply with this Certification and Agreement, its terms and
conditions, and/or all relevant provisions and requirements of the CARES Act or any other applicable
law may result in Recipient’s liability under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, et seq.; OMB
Guidelines to Agencies on Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) in 2 CFR
part 180, as adopted and amended as regulations of the Department in 2 CFR part 3485; 18 USC §
1001, as appropriate; and all of the laws and regulations referenced in Attachment A, which is
incorporated by reference hereto.
