The U.S. Department of Education announced that over $430 million will be made available for institutions of higher education before the end of May, with TAMIU and Laredo College and receiving $29,210,965 and $26,538,441, respectively.
This means that additional grants for students will be available to apply for which will help with expenses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic throughout this past year.
TAMIU President Dr. Pablo Arenaz said that with food and job insecurity along with rent presenting issues to students statewide, the grants will be available to help. He added that a number of emergencies originated amid the pandemic, many heartbreaking, and that the CARES Act and these additional funds would help.
