"Americans Support Fully Endowing HBCUs. Now Is the Time to Do So"

Americans Support Fully Endowing HBCUs. Now Is the Time to Do So
By Dr. Denise Smith, Deputy Director of Higher Education Policy and Senior Fellow at The Century Foundation, and Jordan Nellums, Policy Associate on the Higher Education Team at The Century Foundation

"There is good reason to invest in HBCUs, which have a proven track record of success and serve as catalysts for racial equity. These institutions make up just 3 percent of all colleges and universities, but produce 40 percent of all Black engineers, 50 percent of all Black teachers, 70 percent of all Black doctors and dentists, and 80 percent of all Black judges. They also serve two-times as many Pell-eligible students as non-HBCU schools, and HBCU students are 51 percent more likely to move into a higher-income quintile than graduates of non-HBCUs."
