RALEIGH — Both chambers of the North Carolina General Assembly unanimously passed a second round of Hurricane Helene relief funding on Oct. 24.
North Carolina’s State Emergency and Disaster Relief Fund has nearly $733 million available and the state’s Savings Reserve has more than $4.75 billion.
The first round of funding, $278 million, was approved earlier this month in House Bill 149.
Combined with the second round, total relief funding thus far is over $917 million.
Eligible students at the school outlined in the relief package will be able to receive a scholarship grant of up to $2,500.
