NEWS FROM NASFAA

This week, the Department of Education's (ED) Education Stabilization Fund (ESF) Reporting Helpdesk emailed institutions' designated HEERF grant contacts information about Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) annual reporting for the third grant year, covering activities in calendar year 2022.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are currently making their way through what appears to be a final short-term extension for government funding as negotiators seek to wrap up stalled spending levels for fiscal year 2023 by as soon as next week. The latest spending bill is another continuing resolution that would extend government funding through December 23 and enable Congress to finalize an omnibus.
