Trump redirecting almost $500M to HBCUs
The Trump administration increased funding for historically Black and tribal colleges by 48% and over 100%, reallocating nearly $500 million from programs mostly serving Hispanic students, officials said.
- In 2025, the Trump administration allocated close to $500 million in federal resources to support historically Black and tribal colleges, primarily by reducing funding for other minority-serving institutions.
- This redirection followed a July Justice Department memo declaring Hispanic Serving Institution grants unconstitutional due to minority enrollment thresholds.
- The funding increase followed shortly after a $350 million reduction in grants primarily directed to programs benefiting colleges with large Hispanic student populations and other minority-focused initiatives.
- Education Secretary Linda McMahon stated that the Department has thoroughly reviewed federal grant programs to guarantee that taxpayer funds support initiatives based on merit and excellence in education rather than discriminatory practices.
- The shift reversed decades-old precedents and drew Democratic criticism for cutting programs that contributed to social mobility for working-class Americans.
