HBCU Grants
Directory

Grants are different from scholarships — they fund research, programs, campus improvements, community projects, and more.
What Makes Grants Different
Not all funding is the same. Grants and scholarships serve very different purposes.
"Grants fund the infrastructure that makes education possible — the labs, the research, the programs, and the communities."
