HBCU Foundation, Inc.


  • Mission

    The HBCU Foundation is a Federally-recognized 501(c)(3) organization, whose aim is to raise much-needed scholarship dollars in support of deserving students attending our nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

    About Us

    The HBCU Foundation plays a critical role in enabling deserving students to attend college each year and gain access to internship and career opportunities by:

    • Facilitating access to internships and career opportunities targeted specifically to students and alumni of our 102 member institutions
    • Facilitating student access to mentorship
    • Providing financial support to our 102 member institutions
    • Providing college readiness and early-access programs to high school students and families
    • Advocating at national events on behalf of HBCUs

    HBCU institutions educate nearly 300,000 students each year at tuitions averaging 30 percent less than those charged by non-HBCU institutions. The HBCU Foundation's programs and scholarships increase the likelihood that students will enter, as well as graduate from college.
