Kentucky State University one of 100 HBCUs around the country to receive funding in the American Rescue Plan
Kentucky State University was one of the HBCUs across the country that received American Rescue Plan funding, according to information released from The White House recently.
According a White House briefing, “the Department of Education announced a state-by-state breakdown of over $2.7 billion in funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) provided in the President’s American Rescue Plan. These funds were provided through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) over the past year.”
The American Rescue Plan required half of the funding to provide direct financial relief to students.
