HBCUs and Minority Institutions Receive Record Funding In "Make America Secure Appropriations Act"
Statement
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
"Passage of this amendment means that funding for this important program for our students of color will be at its highest level since 2010. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) contribute some of our country's best and brightest into both the Armed Forces and STEM-related professions, yet are notoriously underfunded. We are proud to secure record funding for grants and scholarships for some of our most underserved populations as we work to create a pipeline of highly-skilled, diverse graduates into the Armed Forces to meet growing national security and economic challenges."
