Established in 1987, the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) is the nation’s largest organization exclusively representing the Black college community. TMCF member-schools include the publicly-supported historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), predominantly Black institutions (PBIs), and historically Black community colleges (HBCCs). TMCF member-schools represent 80% of all students attending HBCUs. Through scholarships, capacity building and research initiatives, innovative programs, and strategic partnerships, TMCF is a vital resource from Kindergarten through higher education. The organization is also a source for top employers seeking top talent for competitive internships and good jobs.
UNCF has helped more than 500,000 students earn their college degrees since its founding. UNCF is the nation’s largest private scholarship provider to minority group members. Each year, we award more than $100 million in scholarships to students attending more than 1,100 schools across the country, including our prestigious network of 37 HBCUs.
HBCU First is a student-led community advancing the wellbeing and economic participation of America’s Black youth. As the leading HBCU internship and mentoring academy, we empower students — from 70+ Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) — with in-demand, college-to-career skills. We believe Black colleges — due to their track record of graduating thriving professionals — should be the first choice of college-bound Black youth and organizations seeking diverse talent.
