<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mo’ money! Mo’ money! Mo’ money! When it comes to HBCUs, more money is definitely a conversation that&#8217;s taken place for decades. With the breakdown of President Biden’s American Rescue Plan, it appears that is exactly what HBCUs <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=hbcus&;post_type=post">received</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Tuesday, the White House provided a breakdown of the billion dollar contribution given to about 100 HBCUs within the last year, totaling over $2.7 billion.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to the government website, “These funds were provided through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) over the past year.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The funding, which is the largest in history, “is a key part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to shared prosperity and equity for all Americans,” the press release also states.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The American Rescue Plan also requires half of the funds to provide “direct relief” to students. The Education Department expects more will ultimately be used for that purpose.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here is a snapshot of how much HBCUs received by state and territory:</span></p>
