There is a need to diversify...

While progress has been made over the past decade regarding Black student enrollment in college, Historically Black Colleges and Universities prepare thousands of students for post-baccalaureate success each year. There remains, however, a need to continually strive for educational access and equality for students.

Are you a Student In Need of Resources for Graduate School?

Purdue University Campus Visit March 2017

Many HBCU undergraduates are desirous of diversified experiences to prepare them as professionals. At the same time, graduate program opportunities are limited at many HBCUs. So there is a need to connect top tier institutions with competitive applicants who are eager to conduct research and add to the body of knowledge in their chosen fields of study. The paramount issue for many qualified HBCU students is funding for attending graduate school, which includes securing resources for tuition and living expenses.

Graduate degrees are critical to competitiveness in the ever-evolving global job market. Many HBCU’s are not equipped with degree programs and facilities that enable the attainment of the various master’s and doctoral degrees desired by their students. Additionally, socioeconomic status becomes a factor for many HBCU student’s as they struggle to obtain funding for graduate school.

The establishment of a scholars program and a national HBCU clearinghouse operation that identifies and recruits prospective graduate students is needed. A student pipeline operation has been formed, piloted and successfully implemented over a 30 -year period to the benefit of hundreds of students at one HBCU in particular. Replication of the best practices of a student pipeline is in the best interest of all students with potential and promises to produce extraordinary results.

The impact of such an operation are far reaching. It is estimated that in the short term, this activity could lead to the successful attainment of graduate school funding for 200 to 500 students annually.

The National HBCU Graduate School Clearinghouse will:

- Arm students with information on graduate programs through professional development, graduate school consulting and communication,
- Establish partnerships with institutions committed to funding the graduate education of HBCU students
And connect partners to qualified students who have been groomed for graduate school success.
