Since Butler University had previously received grants under the CARES Act (HEERF I) and under CRRSAAA (HEERF II), the University received $4,010,416 to award directly to students. As of\u00a0 fall census 2021, 5,544 students are eligible to receive these funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, ARP required HEERF funds to be used to conduct direct outreach to financial aid
