HBCUs Win USDA Funds
By Charles Dervarics
Eleven historically Black colleges will divide a new $1.5 million allotment from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to promote employment and new business development in rural communities.
The funds are made through cooperative agreements with the 11 institutions, which are 1890 land-grant colleges and universities. Each college and university will get $150,000 through the program.
