BOSTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be sending
nearly $3.3 million to the State of Connecticut to reimburse
Quinnipiac University for the cost of providing testing to students,
faculty and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The $3,282,764 FEMA Public Assistance grant will reimburse the private
university in Hamden for the cost of administering approximately
95,856 COVID-19 tests between July 2020 and June 2021.

“FEMA is pleased to be able to assist Quinnipiac University with
these costs,” said FEMA Region 1 Regional Administrator Lori
Ehrlich. “Providing resources for our institutions of higher
education to combat the COVID-19 pandemic is critical to their
success, and to our success as a nation.”

FEMA’s Public Assistance program is an essential source of funding
for states and communities recovering from a federally declared
disaster or emergency.

So far, FEMA has provided more than $630 million in Public Assistance
grants to Connecticut to reimburse the state for pandemic-related
expenses.
