Historically Black Colleges and Universities

Students called on state lawmakers to increase funding for facilities and scholarships at North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities and to protect their voting access.

The Senate's proposal would cut millions of dollars of funding for need-based students.

The $1.5 million scholarship program will cover teachers’ master's degrees and a one-year principal internship.

Researchers at N.C. A&T State University are incorporating artificial intelligence into farming.

Seven regional hubs will be located at a mix of public and private HBCUs, and the state’s only Historically American Indian University.

The $100 million donation is the largest single award in the university's history. It will be used to support undergraduate and graduate students, including a special designation for students from HBCUs.

North Carolina’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities are bolstering esports programming. The hope is that it brings more students of color into an industry that’s lacking diversity.

“This is historic. We will be the first state legislature in the country to launch a bipartisan, bicameral HBCU caucus,” said Representative Zack Hawkins.

NC Central will face off against the champions of the Southwestern Athletic Conference, Jackson State, in the Celebration Bowl. Kickoff is at noon Saturday on ABC from Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Student athletes from a dozen HBCUs were competed on the Fairways Course at the Prestonwood Country Club in Cary this weekend. It is the first time the SAS Championship included a HBCU Invitational.
