Our
mission is to enhance the quality of education by providing financial
assistance to deserving students, raising operating funds for member
colleges and universities, and increasing access to technology for
students and faculty at historically black colleges and universities
(HBCUS). Since its inception in
1944, UNCF has grown to become the nation's oldest and most successful
African American higher education assistance organization.
2007 Annual Report: Their Future is Our Future
In the United States today, a college education often is inaccessible to many capable, deserving students. This year's annual report highlights how UNCF and its member institutions are changing the odds for low to moderate-income, high-achieving students, and laying the groundwork for their future. Highlights include:
- Raising more than $220 million to help 65,000 students get a college education.
- Awarding 8,299 scholarships worth $74 million to help students attending more than 900 schools meet the increasing cost of going to college.
- Accepting the first participants and committing more than $2.6 million in grants to UNCF's Institute for Capacity Building (ICB), which helps our member institutions become stronger and more self-sustaining.
