Washington, D.C. <\/strong>\u2013\u2013 Today, Georgia U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock announced more than $175 million in new funding they secured for Georgia\u2019s Historically Black Colleges and Universities through the American Rescue Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s announcement comes in addition to the nearly $85 million<\/a> Sens. Ossoff and Warnock secured for Georgia HBCUs in May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sens. Ossoff and Warnock are champions for Georgia\u2019s HBCUs and led the push<\/a> in the U.S. Senate to ensure HBCUs had equitable access to federal COVID-19 relief funds in the form of direct grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will never stop working on behalf of Georgia\u2019s HBCUs. Sen. Rev. Warnock and I are pleased to deliver this additional funding for HBCUs as they prepare for this upcoming school year and continue to help students recover from the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d said Sen. Ossoff<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs an HBCU graduate, I am grateful to see additional funding flow to HBCUs in Georgia to help them continue opening doors of possibility and opportunity for the bright minds of the next generation,\u201d said Senator Reverend Warnock. <\/strong>\u201cI was proud to work alongside Senator Ossoff to secure these funds for the faculty, staff and students who continue to excel at these institutions, and will keep fighting to strengthen federal support for our HBCUs in Georgia and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
