TUCSON (KVOA) - Rep. Greg Stanton announced Tuesday that Arizona community colleges, universities and students will receive more than $471 million in emergency funding under the American Rescue Plan.
The emergency institutional funds will help colleges and universities overcome the severe financial ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than half of the funds will be distributed to students who are facing homelessness, hunger, and other hardships, in the form of emergency cash assistance grants.
The money will also go towards supporting vaccination efforts for students and campus communities and re-engaging students whose learning was disrupted by the pandemic.

WEST FARGO Familiar faces occupy West Fargo Sheyenne’s dugout. Ten seniors provide experience, leadership and depth for the Mustangs. They also produce wins.
The Mustangs, projected to finish first in the Eastern Dakota Conference in the preseason coaches poll, were expected to win baseball games this season. They’ve proved the early rating wasn’t a fluke.
The Mustangs are 14-3-1 overall (14.5-3.5) this season with a 6-0 mark in the EDC the only team from the East Region with an undefeated conference record.
He fast-walks through rolling, dun-colored foothills below a solitary ridgeline east of Kabul. Body armor hugs his chest. A heavy ruck jostles against his back, straps chafing his shoulders. At 39, he’s in the best shape of his life, 200 pounds and a sinewy 6-foot-4 counting his wavy, salt-and-pepper hair. The air is sour with burnt refuse and sweat, but Maj. Brent Taylor keeps flashing a toothsome politician’s grin.
Behind him, about 40 Afghan commandos kick up dust. Like every Saturday, they’ve volunteered for this ruck march, a 2.5-mile trot in full kit, with M4s in hand. Brent leads, as usual. He veers off the road, winding over a hill, past some water tanks. His Guardian Angel a 19-year-old bodyguard fresh out of basic and his interpreter stay close, but Brent is among friends. Guys tell stories, lean in for selfies and play American music for each other on their phones. Down the hill, a few Afghans take tea at a tiny table beside the path.
Last week, the Arizona House advanced a bill that had previously been stalled that would allow undocumented students to pay in-state tuition rates pending voter approval. The bill is expected to get a final vote early this week.
The bill s sponsor, state Sen. Paul Boyer, thanked Rep. Michelle Udall for making a motion to force it on the board. Without it, he doesn t think the bill would ve reached this point. She s giving hope to all these students that deserve it, that through no fault of their own were brought here and as far as they re concerned and I m concerned they re American citizens, Boyer said.
