About Us
UNCF (United Negro College Fund) is the nation's largest and most effective minority education organization. UNCF invests in better futures for students, communities and the nation by working with its 37 member historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to provide students with the college education they need and that the 21st-century economy demands. To support its member HBCUs and the more than 50,000 students it supports, UNCF:
- Provides member HBCUs with financial and other support so they can keep their academic programs strong and their tuition affordable.
- Awards more than 7,000 scholarships each year to help students at member HBCUs and many other colleges and universities across the United States earn their degrees and launch their careers.
- Advocates in Washington, DC, and around the country for the importance of HBCUs, college education and college readiness.
UNCF envisions a nation where all Americans have equal access to a college education that prepares them for rich intellectual lives, competitive and fulfilling careers, engaged citizenship and service to our nation.
UNCF’s mission is to build a robust and nationally-recognized pipeline of under-represented students who, because of UNCF support, become highly-qualified college graduates and to ensure that our network of member institutions is a respected model of best practice in moving students to and through college.
