Historically Black Colleges That Don't Charge Out-of-State Tuition
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on March 12, 2011 By Audrey Farley, eHow Contributor Most of the historically black colleges in the United States are located in Southern and Mid-Atlantic states. This is because these schools were founded in the years following the end of the American Civil War. Public historically black colleges are funded by the state and thus are obligated to charge out-of-state tuition to non-residents. Private historically black colleges are funded by federal programs, private education funds and tuition, so all admitted students pay the same in tuition and costs. Hampton University Hampton University, located in Hampton, Virginia, was founded in 1868 by black and white leaders of the American Missionary Association. The school was established to provide educational opportunities to freed slaves after the American Civil War. Today, Hampton enrolls more than 5,000 students in its various technical, liberal arts and graduate degree programs. Approximately 91 percent of the student body is African American. Howard University Founded in 1867, Howard University is a nonprofit private school located in Washington, D.C. Howard is a member of the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund, which financially assists historically black colleges to make tuition more affordable to students. Howard is also the annual recipient of approximately $235 million from the federal government. Howard offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs to more than 10,000 students. Johnson C. Smith University Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU) is a private, four-year liberal arts school located in Charlotte, North Carolina. JCSU is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church although it welcomes students of all religious traditions. The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. More than 1,500 students attend JCSU, which awards bachelor of science, bachelor of arts and bachelor of social work degrees. Morehouse College Morehouse College is a private, liberal arts, all-male college located in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1867, Morehouse is one of only three traditionally men's colleges that remains in the country today. Approximately 3,000 students attend Morehouse, which awards bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in 26 majors. The Army ROTC and the Navy ROTC have a strong presence on the campus, helping many students to finance their educations.
