BOSTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be sending
nearly $1.3 million to Westfield State University to reimburse the
college for the cost of contracting to test students and staff during
the COVID-19 pandemic.

The $1,269,231 Public Assistance grant will reimburse the public
university in Westfield for the cost of diagnostic testing between
February 2021 and June 2021.

“FEMA is pleased to be able to assist Westfield State University
with these costs,” said FEMA Region 1 Regional Administrator Lori
Ehrlich. “Providing resources for our institutions of higher
education in combating 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, communities and certain private non profit organizations
recovering from a federally declared disaster or emergency.

So far, FEMA has provided more than $1 billion in Public Assistance
grants to Massachusetts to reimburse the commonwealth for
pandemic-related expenses.
