WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman John Sarbanes (D-Md.) and the Maryland Congressional Delegation announced $170,544,958 in federal funding for Maryland’s higher education institutions under the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund.

Of this total funding amount, 50 percent can provide direct assistance to students facing emergency expenses. The remaining 50 percent can be used for a wider range costs, upon further guidance from the U.S. Department of Education.

“The coronavirus has upended the lives of students across our state,” said the lawmakers. “From the direct impacts on their health and wellbeing, to the substantial financial and emotional burdens, it has left few unscathed. These funds will provide direct relief to students, and longer-term assistance to our colleges and universities, to help them weather this storm. Together, we will continue working to provide Maryland students with the assistance they need during this challenging time.”

Funding comes from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. In addition to this education funding, the Maryland Delegation successfully fought for dedicated assistance to HBCUs and Minority Serving Institutions, which is forthcoming.

Through the CARES Act, Maryland has also received $742 million for hospitals and health care providers, $15.6 million for Community Health Centers and $48 million for local governments.
