Black College Fund

Historically Black colleges and universities graduate about a fourth of all African-American college students. The Black College Fund provides financial support for United Methodism’s eleven historically Black colleges and universities.

How have the funds benefited the Historically Black Colleges and Universities?

Capital expenditures—endowment building, construction and major renovations—comprise one-sixth of the funds. The colleges are often able to increase the value of these crucial capital funds by using them to secure need-based or matching grants from other resources. The remaining five sixths of the funds are used to bolster libraries, faculty development, academic research, student counseling and other services. This portion also underwrites some administrative and operations costs.
