I'm pleased that Congress was able to come together to permanently authorize funding to support these historic institutions. #ForTheFUTURE"

"Thank you to Chairman @RepRichardNeal and the @WaysMeansCmte for helping get today's Future Act over the finish line.

Today's legislation will help not only secure the financial future of HBCUs and MSIs, but the future of their students as well."
