Today, there are more than 700 Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) designated by the federal government that represent 14 percent of all degree granting institutions of higher education.

UNCF Study: HBCUs âPunch Above Their Weightâ
A steady increase since 2017 in federal funding for historically Black colleges and universities and their students is a sign that lawmakers are becoming more informed about how HBCUs disproportionately graduate African-Americans and impact economies, according to participants in a media briefing Tuesday about a new study by the United Negro College Fund.
