More Black colleges and universities would qualify for federal graduate education grants.
More Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) would qualify for federal grants. These grants help pay for graduate programs. The bill would also change how this money is shared among eligible schools.
Today, some Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) that offer masters degree programs are not eligible for specific federal graduate education grants. If this bill becomes law, these institutions would become eligible to apply for these grants. Additionally, the current specific dollar thresholds for distributing remaining grant funds — $9,000,000 for HBCUs and $2,500,000 for PBIs — would be removed and replaced with a rule to distribute "any remaining amount" after other criteria are met.
