RPI, HVCC, Sage among local colleges receiving federal funding<\/strong> CAPITAL REGION, N.Y.\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Following steadfast support for New York\u2019s colleges and universities throughout the pandemic, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that the recently-signed American Rescue Plan includes an estimated $2.6 billion for New York\u2019s public, private, and proprietary institutions of higher education.<\/p>\n Hudson Valley Community College is slated to receive $18,480,000.<\/p>\n Schumer, D-NY, said that public and non-profit schools will use half of their award on emergency financial aid grants to students to help them with college costs and basic needs like housing, food, and healthcare.<\/p>\n The other half of the funds will allow institutions to provide additional student support activities, and to cover a variety of institutional costs, including lost revenue, reimbursement for expenses already incurred, technology costs associated with a transition to distance education, faculty and staff trainings, and payroll. Proprietary schools must use their awards exclusively to provide financial aid grants to students.<\/p>\n \u201cAs New York\u2019s colleges, universities, and students face over a year of unprecedented hurdles, they do so at a steep cost that it is our responsibility to address and overcome. In prioritizing the health and safety of students, faculty, and staff, New York\u2019s higher education institutions have ripped massive holes in their budgets and are now facing down financial devastation \u2013 and we simply can\u2019t let that happen,\u201d Schumer stated.<\/p>\n \u201cAs Majority Leader, I was proud to make funding for New York\u2019s higher education institutions and students a top priority, and the American Rescue Plan will deliver this much needed $2.6 billion in assistance to help our world-class institutions through the crisis, get students safely back to classes, and get campuses across the state back to \u2018normal\u2019,” Schumer added.<\/p>\n This funding is in addition to the $2.4 billion Schumer secured for New York\u2019s institutions of higher education in the past COVID relief bills. In total, Schumer has secured over $5 billion for New York\u2019s colleges and universities in the past year.<\/p>\n Schools in the Capital Region are projected to receive $152,442,000 in grants.<\/p>\n Below are Capital Region educational institutions of higher education and the associated fund allocations:<\/p>\n Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, $2,360,000 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Thu, 25 Mar 2021 12:00:21 +0000 by\u00a0d.gardner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RPI, HVCC, Sage among local colleges receiving federal funding The Record (Troy)\u00a0\/ March 24, 2021 CAPITAL REGION, N.Y.\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Following steadfast…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[133],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-in-the-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15808\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
