• Upgrading campus facilities and technology
• Expanding student support services and scholarships
• Strengthening community engagement and partnerships

"This investment from Reinvestment Fund is a game-changer for HBCUs," said Dr. David Wilson, President of Morgan State University, one of the nation's leading public HBCUs. "It will enable us to enhance our academic offerings, improve our infrastructure, and provide more opportunities for the talented students who choose to attend our institutions."
