Education Institutions to Establish or Strengthen Their
Academic Program
The U.S. Department of Education is
awarding more than $13.7 million to 23
Predominantly Black Institutions (PBI) to
establish or strengthen their higher education
programs.
“Longstanding black institutions continue to
educate and graduate some of our finest
students and this country’s future leaders,”
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
said. “The grants will help these institutions
strengthen their programs as they continue
preparing students to achieve their full
potential in this competitive global
economy.”
The PBI competitive grant program provides
grants to institutions of higher education
(IHEs) to establish or strengthen programs in
the following areas: science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM); health education; internationalization or
globalization; teacher preparation; or
improving educational outcomes of
African-American males. The program
provides five-year funding to increase IHEs’
capacity to prepare students for instruction in
the academic fields mentioned. The
maximum award an institution can receive is
$600,000.
