Duke Endowment to Strengthen Ties with HBCUs

To mark the centennial celebration, the Duke Endowment has awarded $100 million in part to support the university’s vision for the next 100 years of higher education and to strengthen ties with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The funds will support Duke graduate students from HBCUs and other minority-serving institutions, aligning with Duke's strategic vision for collaboration. This initiative builds on existing efforts, including partnerships with HBCUs like N.C. Central University and the University of Maryland at Baltimore County, aiming to advance diversity and inclusivity in education and research. Read more.
