[LAW DAWG]

Today, the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) announced a significant, one-time investment of more than $174 million in additional funding to strengthen America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This funding commitment reflects the Trump Administration’s ongoing pledge to support institutions that have played a foundational role in advancing opportunity and economic mobility for generations of American students.

Today’s announcement builds on last year’s record one-time investment of $438 million in additional funding for HBCUs to support the sector’s mission and its students. In total, the Trump Administration will have directed more than $612 million in new funding to HBCUs in fiscal years 2025 and 2026.

Every since the HBCU presidents went up there, during his first term, and kissed the ring he has shown little hostility towards HBCUs. He even brags about his support for HBCUs while proactively having his administration dismantle everything else that helps minority populations.
