Bryn Mawr College received its HEERF III Grant award notification on May 18, 2021; signing an additional agreement to receive this funding allocation was not required. In keeping with the terms of acceptance of these funds, Bryn Mawr College will use no less than $1,319,093 to provide Emergency Financial Aid Grants directly to students.
