The American Rescue Plan includes nearly $90 million for colleges, universities and community colleges in Massachusetts’ First Congressional District, U.S. Representative Richard E. Neal announced on Tuesday. The funding included in the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan COVID relief package is meant to help institutions cope with the severe financial fallout from the pandemic and continue serving their students safely. 

Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Matt Scott spoke to WesternMassNews about what this means for AIC students. A similar story appeared on WWLP-22News, WHYN-NewsTalk 560, and MassLive.
