Historically Black Colleges & Universities

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) comprise more than 100 public and private institutions. HBCUs have a rich history of academic excellence across various disciplines and a mission to build community and educate black americans nationwide. Although HBCUs were founded primarily to educate black students, the institutions welcome all students to apply and study. In this page, we have included all accredited HBCUs recognized by the Department of Education.

HBCUs Student Resources

Every individual HBCU will have its own unique student resources and services, but in addition to those resources and services, we wanted to share with our community some of the nation's most helpful resources, including scholarships, apprenticeships, fellowships, mentorship opportunities, social engagement opportunities, and some holistic resources that go above and beyond what we have listed above. There is so much support for HBCU students, so make sure you take advantage of the top resources we gathered for you here.

​We also want to highlight that Black college students from all higher education systems (public, private, out-of-state, etc.) can also take advantage of some of the resources listed here.
