BOSTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be sending
more than $8.1 million to Brandeis University to reimburse the
university for the cost of contracting to test students and staff
during the COVID-19 pandemic.

FEMA Public Assistance grants totaling $8,170,280  will reimburse the
private research university in Waltham for the cost of testing 404,152
students and employees at the campus between July 2020 and February
2022.

“FEMA is pleased to be able to assist Brandeis 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, 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.
