Description
The Biden Administration has continued to prioritize and support Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Historically Black Colleges and University (HBCUs) across all federal agencies, proposing increases to existing programs as well as looking toward Congress to authorize new funding. To assist in tracking these many developments, Lewis-Burke has compiled the attached document, which provides an overview of federal opportunities specifically available for MSIs and HBCUs. Programs described in the document are likely of interest to various Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), HBCUs, Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), among other MSIs.

This document only includes programs either currently or previously funded by Congress and omits those that have been authorized but have not received appropriations.
