Earlier this year, the Biden administration announced $2.7 billion in funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities
Black Lives Matter and the historic presidency of Barack Obama have reportedly prompted more Black high school graduates to turn to HBCUs for higher education.
As reported by the New York Times, applications for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) have experienced a boom since 2018. The Common Black College app allows students to submit one application to multiple colleges, and HBCUs are expected to reach 40,000 this year. The boost comes as federal lawmakers continue to provide billions in funding for more than 100 schools.
