Kentucky Postsecondary Institutions Receive Funding From COVID-19 Relief Package

Murray State University

Postsecondary institutions in Kentucky are taking advantage of $203,628,298 in COVID-19 relief funding authorized by Congress in December. Murray State University is among them, and set to receive $10.2 million.

According to a release from U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the U.S. Department of Education will distribute the funds to dozens of colleges and universities in the commonwealth.

“Kentucky’s colleges and universities have taken bold and innovative steps to protect their campus communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. I’m proud to announce these additional federal resources that will support students as they pursue their education and reach for their goals,” said McConnell. “With the increasing distribution of safe and effective vaccines across Kentucky, we are closer than ever to ending this crisis. As we do, our institutions of higher education are well-positioned to help our Commonwealth come roaring back.”
