Telemedicine grant

This federal Project Grant award of $998,886 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service under the Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.855) to Clarendon College, a U.S. state government educational institution. The grant supports the use of telemedicine, telecommunications, and advanced technologies to provide educational and medical benefits to rural populations served by Clarendon College. Specifically, the funding will enable the college to enhance its telemedicine and distance learning capabilities in order to improve access to education and healthcare for the surrounding rural community. Clarendon College has previously received over $6.4 million in COVID-19 relief funding from the Department of Education, which the college used to support its operations, faculty/staff training, and the delivery of instructional services during the pandemic, as well as to provide emergency financial aid to students.
