- Today, the Biden-Harris Administration announced a new record in Federal funding and investments in Historically Black Colleges and Universities, totaling more than $16 billion from Fiscal Year 2021 to now.
Those funds came from the following:
Nearly $4 billion for HBCUs through the American Rescue Plan and other COVID relief legislation. These grants funded through the Department of Education and other agencies have helped HBCUs support students' ability to meet basic needs; support campus operations, staffing, teaching, and educational programs; and keep campuses and the surrounding communities on the path to an equitable recovery;
$2.6 billion from the Department of Education to build institutional capacity at HBCUs. These efforts support the growth and sustainability of HBCU degree programs; increase and enhance human, technological, and physical infrastructure for research; strengthen positioning to secure direct partnership opportunities; and create sustainable fund development;
Over $1.6 billion to HBCUs through Federal grants, cooperative agreements, and other competitive funding opportunities that drive the advancement of academic and training programs, community-based initiatives, and research innovation across national priorities such as medicine and public health, climate science, agriculture, emerging technologies, and defense;
Almost $950 million to support HBCUs in growing research capacity and related infrastructure to better compete for Federal research and development dollars;
Nearly $719 million in grant funding to expand STEM academic capacity and educational programs; and in other high-wage, high-demand fields such as computer science, nursing, and allied health;
Over $150 million in Federal contracting opportunities awarded to HBCUs, including for research and expansion of STEM education programs at the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Transportation, Department of Energy, and U.S. Agency for International Development;
$1.6 billion in capital finance debt relief for 45 public and private HBCUs. Discharging these debts has enabled these institutions to focus resources on supporting students, faculty, and staff while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic; and
Over $2.4 million in Project SERV funds to support HBCUs affected by more than a dozen bomb threats in 2022. These grants have helped restore safe learning environments and invest in student mental health and well-being for students

The state of Tennessee owes Tennessee State University over 2.5 billion dollars. Most HBCU’s are owed billions while UT Knox, LSU, and other state schools for decades have received all of the funding that was budgeted for them.
With help from black athletes making their sports programs wealthy...basketball, football and track.
Black people are all talk making other communities rich while your babies at home can barely eat
Surely
And lame stream media says nothing about it!!
We give details on money pledged and not delivered by fake black donors. We even take school administrators to task. But who's tracking the states and presidential candidates who promise money to HBCUs every 4 years around election time?
I’m a HBCU graduate and I’m happy after hearing this news!
What? that tax payers are giving $16B to HBCU's pat yourself on the back.
Yes Sir! Get the news out there!!!!
A lot of black kids on the east coast and south go to HBCU’s… so Black people on a whole are affected positively. You’re welcome.
😂You serious? Half that money gonna be stole by those crooked HBCU admins. Corruption galore at those schools, I know, I went to one.
Tax payer's are paying the $16B if it even reaches the schools in the first place.
Compared to Ukranian assistance and illegals, we are happy with an incremental increase. Demand a doubling of assistance for the people who put him in office. Ya'll don't get it.
5:14 that just proves that everyone knows how racist this country is. "They might get upset"
Hollywood has the same problem. Don’t want to give black people too much of a positive platform, so we balance it with mumble rap, hood tales and gangsta movies.
Yes she hit the nail right on the head
I think they are scared to present that they're doing more for Black people
Is it going directly to the schools or is being funneled through the states Which we know they will not be receiving the funds If it’s left to the states to distribute the funds
It is going to the schools, but none of the money is for what is owed to land grant HBCUs by the states for past underfunding. Look at what he is giving to the PWIs universities, and it shows that the money is giving to HBCUs is relatively small amount.
@@EyeOfTheWatcher And where did you see that show me the link 🤨
@@EyeOfTheWatcherSo, the bag isn't secured
Thank you! You are right about that...
@@EyeOfTheWatcher HBCU's make up only 3% of the total number of higher education institutions in America. Obviously the raw number of funding to PWI's will be bigger. Thats not what you should he critical of. Stop pocket watching others. Worry that we have never received this amount of funding to HBCU's before Biden's term.
Bag is not secured, as look at what they are giving to other universities, at the same time, that are not HBCUs and the fact that they still have not brought a lawsuit against the states for Land Grant HBCU universities.
Take the win!
Well said! This is just propaganda, money owed from 2021 til now WHAT! Why did they do til now and not in 2021, where is the interest on that money? Just more games
@@morriswhitaker236 Games? So not to play games, it would be better for HBCU's to not get the $16 billion? Or to turn it down? That's smart thinking I guess for some.
Totally agree let’s correct the issue with these land grant Schools first!
I sure hope the director of public engagement Stephen K. Benjamin watches this and his team makes the changes needed for more dissemination of their successes. However, I am grateful for the black star network and Roland S. Martin for advocating and delivering the proper information.
Are they putting the money directly in the HBCU 's purses??? Cause we know these states will keep the money like they been doing!!!
I was just about to say this. I really do hope they give these funds directly to the schools.
This is very important… you are so right
🛑 The dollars will be distributed everywhere else except the where it specifically needs to go to. Don’t try to count this as a form of reparations!
Support BLACK FARMERS!
Biden and Harris gave $4 billion to debt relief for Black farmers. However it was white farmers that filed a lawsuit claiming discrimination. The republican House majority revoked the promised funds and created a race-neutral program instead 🤷🏾♀️
Still voting Trump. Opportunist.
Thank You Roland Martin for reporting on this News
Even some Democrats be hating on Black folk getting some of what is OWED!!!!
Some??😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡
EMBARRASSING!
I got student loan relief! 283K!!! I'm a real person. Thanks Joe!!!
Did you have to claim that as income?
@@nubianubia8990should have
So you ripped off taxpayers! You and Biden are thieves
Shit, I wish Joe would buy my vote and pay off my mortgages
@@nubianubia8990 Nope!
Morehouse was protesting, so don't let them get their cut
Giving HBCU's funding is cool, but that doesn't help most Black Americans. He just threw us a bone, but it's not really going to do anything. We need more Black contractors, building these homes and roads. With AI around the corner, a job in the trades is the future.
Where is this money going? 16 Billion for what exactly?
Ask that question to the individual HBCU'S
Also.. you definitely didn't pay any attention to what was outlined in this video ‼️ He outlined for you!
White colleges and universities get federal dollars. Do you ask for what?
Wow. Awesome. Vote Blue always.
How this help with black people outside of school?
Roland is often very RUDE. He talks all over his panelist and shuts them down just because they don't agree with him. Terrible
Outstanding
This is old news and only the old guard who give themselves all these various positions get that money.
Roland calm your butt down!!! & let her finish her sentence 😎
Was it a block grant to the states or sent directly to the HBCUs?
Do your research, I'm sure your intelligent enough to do so.
Good question!
Very good news
Read the codes of their news trying to convince us they are happening. Didn't you say they owe billions to some HBCU schools? Show us the money.
I don't agree. Because we need to move in silence. Take the bag quietly. People like you should educate black voters. The other side always moves in silence. By the time we find out, it is too late to fight it. Let be smarter. Black media need to sell it on for Biden and Harris.
I hope they USE THE MONEY WISELY. The majority of that should go to BUSINESS INCUBATORS FOR STARTUPS!!! Providing startup capital will help launch many businesses that will EMPLOY THEIR STUDENTS AND CREATE DONORS TO SUSTAIN THEIR SCHOOLS WITHOUT GOVERNMENT. That is how the PWIs are so successful without even without government grants. Their students have high entrepneurship rates which employ their students and they are able to become donors to support schools.
Good but what does this do for BLACK PEOPLE AS A WHOLE. MORE PANDERING
Fool
@@tulsacaupain2882he's pimping black folks as usual
Ok Comrade.
Exactly not a damn thing for black people as a whole
Haters gon hate
Thank You Biden Administration
Bullshit! that peanuts to what they would've dished out for reparations
No, thank you tax payer's.
BIDEN (democrats) DOES NOT CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE......until ELECTION TIME. Ya'll might learn one decade, but I'm losing faith. (please miss me with the "What have republicans done for us nonsense"...dems are the ones consistently getting your vote)
Too little too late.
*EXCELLENCE*
Will the state of MS finally get Alcorn University money?
So important, thanks to the team

Say it loud, say it clear…
Can Dr West please come on your show?
Roland dont smoke no weed! Was my favorite part.
Nice...
This says they support funding, but this funding is owed Now, not to mention the decades of funding that was denied, talking is cheap, there’s No direct action being done. Every other group has No problem getting direct immediate funding, but the BC votes for Nothing in return. Symbolism, talk, investigations, analysis, barbecuing, chicken appearances is an insult. Cut the Check!!!
Hate to break it to you but the small percentage of black folks who are impacted by that HBCU money pales in comparison to the amount of Americans who would be impacted by the reclassification of Marijuana. That's why he's not leading with that. I also think the idea that the average black person in the middle of this hellish inflation is going to see money going to HBCU's and be more motivated to vote for them if they're not already voting for them is shortsighted. I'm a Howard Alum and attending Howard now and no one in my family is going to be extra motivated by that. Also unfortunately because HBCU's are so under funded to begin with the money they give always feels like it doesn't make an impact because they're constantly trying to catch up with yesterday. A lot of the students hear this and ask where's the money going because our issues are still our issues.
When the panelists/guests speak, please have their names displayed. 😊
Were is the money for slavery reparations cash payments ?
Ain’t happening
@@jaynicew they said that about alot of things but yet it happened
*it went to Israel and Ukraine ,everybody but black people*
Congress makes appropriations and passes bills. The President signs off on bills. Please pay attention and vote in local and state elections for your representatives and see what happens. He couldn’t even wipe 10k worth of student loan debt out what makes you think you’ll get reparations when no one in congress is discussing it let alone a bill. All I hear from the local state reparations committees discuss it and then nothing happens. Start there. 😊
And all Blacks dont go to HBCU or college in general. They just wanted a rebuttal for Trumps HBCU funding.
Tang's funding was 🐂💩.
Go check! He just continued funding for an Obama-era policy, and by the way, it was authored and shepherded through Congress by the dems. Trump just signed it. Pres. Biden has increased the funding.
What’s your point? There are white colleges and universities that receive federal dollars.
Also, many HBCUs are OWED money from the government.
Is this strictly for HBCUS or will other kinds of universities get access to this money? And when will the 1890 landgrant issues be addressed? I'm taking the win though. Just want to know will the states still hold this money back from being granted in some capacity
I think Roland is spinning the story a tad bit diffrent from what their press release ACTUALLY reads. The story is more like an UPDATE of what they HAVE BEEN giving to HBCU's.
Maybe he is telling it to others who haven't been paying attention like we have. Instead of 9 bill here, 20 bill here. Hes putting it all together we are about 6 months from Elec, no time to waste.
This some bullshit tbh you telling me, you rather donate $16 billion dollars to HBCU for black voters, but renege on student loans forgiveness is some bullshit.
Biden didn't renege.
You do know it was republicans who took the student forgiveness program to the Supreme Court and trust good old Clarence Thomas and Alito and all the other republican justices to vote against it. Republicans scuttled student loan forgiveness.
@@Devous7114*Biden reneges on very promised like George Floyd's policing accountability bill, urban economic initiative, and The Lift Every Voice initiative, just name a few, the excuse about republican stopping it is crap because first 2 years of his administration Democrats held both houses of congress and presidency*
The Trump seated Supreme Court stopped the loan forgiveness program.
Student loan forgiveness is ongoing, but judges in republican states blocked it from being more sweeping as he had hoped.
Still a drop in a bucket
Sorry but Lauren is RIGHT
The Biden campaign really need to hire The Lincoln Project. They're praising Biden and Democrat's use their talents to your advantage.
Thank you Tax Payer's.
Vote blue
Why?
Fck no
They've GOT TO PUT UP VIDEO GRAPHICS AND A PRESS RELEASE!!!!!! THEY'VE GOT TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT!!!!!!!
They got to do more than what they’re doing.
No! The bag is not secured
😉😁 Lol
Why now? HBCU's needed this funding back in 2020 as well...
When the pandering becomes to obvious.
When was the pandering ever not obvious tho...they only do what is required to literally purchase our votes. It's a symbolic act. And with Florida and the book bans and everything the symbolic act means a lot to black people. But 16 billion and we still need a Black University!
Why now....if I'm not mistaken didn't you hear Rolen say what they gave in his 1st year in office. Maybe this is your 1st time hearing it
16B is the grand total as of today and I'll take now over never any day.
They gave over $6 billion to HBCUS in 2020-2021. This new announcement of 16 billion is in addition.
Biden losing that's why
What is going to help students pay tuition???
Scholarships, grants, loans.
Work study, become a RA, there’s a myriad of ways. I read about scholarships recipients every day. My friends were RAs. I had scholarship, my father’s financial backing, and student loans. It’s possible.
👍
🎉🎉
Thanks but to damn late for my vote. Should have been done
EXACTLY👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is the SECOND time they've done this since they took office ‼️ CLEARLY you aren't paying attention ‼️
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@egungunache1209 *how about a first time for reparations, not every black person wants to go to college*
@@egungunache1209So, where all the money going?
Dog gone, right ...Sell it to the voters you need...that black vote !
VP Harris should hold a debate at VSU in Oct. she is next in line if Joe resigns early
Bless-ed that dark skinned princess
Election time...
Here boy take this money
Election time? Sixteen billion is the grand total from 2020 to today.
@@PoliticKing7This is the bare minimum
@freeworld2275 trump only gave 250 million. 16B is better than nothing. Bare minimum compared to other colleges in some cases, probably. However, the amount is still being given.
So you have to talk for them to message us ok whatever we slow
😩😁
Biden is DONE!!!
What’s up with this stem research, & why on HBCU campus’s? Hope this is not a Tuskegee experiment!
WTF????
Just glad you are using some of my words Roland. IWhat is the plan of action? After we talk talk, talk there has to be a ,solution otherwise less stop talking about it. We know the problems let start coming up with plans. Since Roland you are now talking about the plan of action it might not be from that panel. The plan of action is coming soon even if I have to make a lot of noise to fix some of the problems in the Black community. Keep ignoring the plan of action other person are sending you.
We must be in a new election cycle. HBCUs get a promise and a visit from the Democratic presidential candidate. Yep, it's that time again.
Tf that gotta do with us who dont Go to school bullshit 😒 but i did go to trade school and community College nothing for the regulars
Trump knows how to play the media and drives the stories that show on news!
Not gonna save Biden
He doesn't need saving. Repugs are attacking black people everyday.
You really think that Biden is or will be the one who needs saving come this fall...smdh 😆 Ooookay
So what?
@@castironanalytics9630He needs the Black vote for reelection
Your taxpayer dollars pay for the bag. Just saying, good it’s not going to “newcomers” or Ukraine for once.
FAMU! REMEMBER!?!?
And that's what's so disappointing is that not all hbcus are like them use governing body that's why Roland is so upset because what fam you did is the perception of all hbcus within the Caucasian section of society
I know I’m ignorant, but what about FAMU?
Without even watching this racism exaggerater and just reading the title are we still supposed to do student loan forgiveness on top of the historic money given too Roland?
Whoops there it is
Whoop it's election time other than that nothing
This how famu got duped. Desperation breeds stupidity. Yall Desperate for anything positive from biden, trump 24
That not how FAMU got duped didn't vet anyone. Period.
Over 22 million white people live below the poverty line. And they have had FULL voting rights forever. And they PREDOMINANTLY vote republikkkan. If republikkkans haven't done anything to help their own people who have had FULL VOTING RIGHTS FOREVER why should I believe that they are going to do anything to help black people? And before you haters say that i'm not on topic- IDGAF. Just answer the damn question if you can?
Same as Democrats however black republicans are better off than black Democrats
Trump has 50 million and money every year for HBCUs and Biden cut it, remember?

Didn't they also promise to pay off ALL HBCU STUDENT DEPT???
WHEN IS THAT GOUNG TO HAPPEN?
So let's do some math... how much is each school getting?

@@Rod3820 and I've shared a link for you. So you were half right. Google is your friend.
Student loans in general not just HBCUs and Biden also said give me the Congress so I can do the things that I campaigned on and promised to do. However, look who controls the house of Congress.
STOP: spreading the "FALSE" HYPED "NARRATIVE"! $16 Billion of "WHAT" "AMOUNT" that didn't go to what are called HBCU. How MUCH MONEY has been sent to "NON-AMERICAN" entities OUTSIDE OF "AMERICA" in addition to my FIRST QUESTION? I think this is more "PEANUTS" given that is characterized as "STEAK DINNERS".
Whoever working at HBCU is getting paid while black people gets nothing
White House has a BAD PR problem!!!

They know it's a pump fake
