5 HBCU’s Multi-million dollar grant to help veterinary medicine program

http://hbcubuzz.com/

       The U.S. Department of Education has

awarded a grant of $2,153,184 to Tuskegee University. The funds are part of more than $26 million awarded to five institutions under the Historically Black Graduate Institutions program. Charles R. Drew University in Los Angeles; Georgia Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta; Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tenn.; and Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta were also grant recipients. Tuskegee’s funds will be used to support the graduate veterinary medicine program.

 

Tsegaye Habtemariam, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health, said the two-year grant will be effective Oct. 1. He said the funds will help support the college’s graduate and professional education programs. The grant will be used to improve student support services and provide equipment as well as fund faculty salaries and student scholarships.

Habtemariam said the student support services part of the grant is particularly important and it will help pay for faculty and staff tutorials designed to help retain students in the programs. He said the training covers topics such as academic support and financial management for students who may be struggling to cover the cost of graduate education.

 

“We want to minimize attrition and maximize retention,” Habtemariam said. Referenced from Tuskegee

What is an HBCU?

HBCUs are a source of accomplishment and great pride for the African American community as well as the entire nation. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, defines an HBCU as: “…any historically black college or university that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the education of black Americans, and that is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association determined by the Secretary [of Education] to be a reliable authority as to the quality of training offered or is, according to such an agency or association, making reasonable progress toward accreditation.” HBCUs offer all students, regardless of race, an opportunity to develop their skills and talents. These institutions train young people who go on to serve domestically and internationally in the professions as entrepreneurs and in the public and private sectors.

"[At] each and every juncture of our history, somebody has been audacious enough to say, 'We could do better.' . . . And more often than not, it's young people who've done it."
