About HBCU-UP


The National Science Foundation (NSF) established the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Undergraduate Program in 2000 to assist HBCUs in their effort to strengthen science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and research capacity as a means to broaden participation in the Nation's STEM workforce. In doing so, Historically Black Colleges and Universities contribute to NSF efforts so that the entire nation's talent can reach their full potential in these fields.
