TCU COVID Resources
Templates, Trainings, and Sources
On March 13, 2020, a national emergency was declared to respond to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Public Law 116–136, was passed by Congress. This bill allotted $2.2 trillion to provide fast and direct economic aid to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
On December 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSAA) Act, Pub. L. 116-260, was passed by Congress. Attached to the CRRSAA, after some CARES Act programs being renewed had already expired, an additional $900 billion in stimulus relief for the COVID-19 on top of a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill (combining 12 separate annual appropriations bills) for the Federal Fiscal Year for 2021.
On March 2021, President Joe Biden and the 117th U.S. Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Public Law 17-21; a $1.9 trillion for additional COVID relief assistance.
Collectively, these appropriations provided billions of dollars in immediate and long-term emergency assistance desperately needed by tribal communities, including providing vital resources to Tribal Colleges and Universities and their students. To assist TCUs, the College Fund has obtained the professional expertise of FSA to:
-
- Provide a repository of resources, including but not limited to guidance from applicable federal granting agencies, and forms and templates that will assist TCUs spending plans and meeting reporting and documentation requirements for COVID Relief Funding;
- Conduct four (4) synchronous training programs that support TCU learning and management of COVID Relief Funding, and
- Provide one-on-one direct consulting on matters related to COVID Relief Funding.
