According to a recent report, HBCUs received $4.7 billion in federal financial assistance from some 28 federal departments in 2013.

But HBCU leaders gathered in Washington sought to focus on funding.

On Monday, they asked administration officials for a $25 billion federal investment for scholarships, technology and facilities. They also pressed for full-time students who qualify for Pell grants to receive them three semesters a year instead of two, according to several presidents in attendance.

so....100 historically black colleges divided by 4.7 billion dollars = 47 million dollars to EACH skool. we are paying for that crap? egad

i dont know how many hbcu's there are....just guessed a 100



edit: seems my 100 number was wildly high, as i found this on wiki....which includes things that likely dont quailify or dont get much of anything. so the likely take for the shitholes that do qualify is likely 60 to 100 million dollars each, per year

There are 107 HBCUs in the United States, including public and private institutions, community and four-year institutions, medical and law schools
