Georgia Sens. Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock came together to secure $84 million in funding to the state’s local HBCUs.
The two US senators announced the funding on May 13 as part of the American Rescue Plan,
The Atlanta Voice reports. To help families struggling due to the economic setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, at least half of the funding must go directly toward grants for student aid.
The American Rescue Plan includes $350 billion in emergency funding for state, local, territorial, and tribal governments, the U.S. Department of The Treasury reports. After President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan into law in March, Ossoff and Warnock were at the forefront of urging Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to allocate funds toward HBCUs.
