Higher Education Benefits from Federal Stimulus Colleges and universities across the Capital Region will be receiving millions of dollars in new federal stimulus aid to bolster pandemic recovery efforts. Half of each college's allotment must be used in di- rect grants to students, but the colleges can also use the federal aid to cover testing and protective equipment costs, offset lost revenue and invest in classroom technology. These estimated stimulus allotments were provided by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer'’s office.
