UC-HBCU Faculty Grants

Through the UC-HBCU Initiative, the Office of the President encourages UC faculty to actively engage in collaboration and cooperation with faculty and students at HBCUs. Such efforts serve to strengthen and enrich our mission of teaching, research and public service. An average of 34 percent of submitted proposals have been selected for funding. During the Initiative's first ten summers, UC hosted 816 scholars across ten UC campuses. As a direct result of this Initiative, 89 Ph.D. students and 5 academic master’s students are currently enrolled at UC; 19 Ph.D. students and 17 master’s students have already graduated.
