STUDENT-READY RELIEF

Student-Ready Strategies published a series of one-page briefs, each focused on a specific, evidence-based solution that institutions should consider using their current or future HEERF dollars to implement. Each brief explains the solution, how it addresses the challenges of the pandemic, how it can be designed in an equitable way, and how HEERF can support it.
