Howard University announced Friday it will clear unpaid balances for juniors and seniors under increased financial burden due to the COVID-19 pandemic, joining the growing list of HBCUs leading the charge in creating equity for students by alleviating debt.
Students eligible for financial relief are upperclassmen with an expected family contribution of $0 and an outstanding balance for the Spring 2021 semester, according to President Wayne A.I. Frederick.
“Howard University is committed to holistically supporting our students and removing barriers they may encounter on the road to graduation,” Frederick wrote in an email to students. “During the course of the pandemic, we know that many students experienced unforeseen financial hardships that put their plans for pursuing higher education in jeopardy.”
